This months Rolling Stone has a small piece on the shorn celebs. Michael Bolton, Lenny Kravitz, and Our favorite, the one we thought would be a mainstay, Anthony Kedis. I think this is a sham. People in their position have a completely independent job and all the opprotunity in the world to grow their hair out and they give it up. Are there any celebrities that make it famous and grow it long?
I have seen on a late night news program a man named John Quinn who, I believe, did the sports and he had a long pony tail. We definitely need more publicity like this.
I am a 20 y/o Drafting and Design college student in Springfield, MO and I have applied for an internship at a local company. I got there and all went well until he said "There is a slimn chance that I could get you by in an internship, but any other capacity it wouldnt work out". My hair is just down to mid back, it was in a pony tail, I had taken out the three earrings in my left ear, and had it perfectly pulled back. To boot I spent $70 on the goobersuit I wore to the interview. Dont get me wrong, if it will make me more money, I will wear a goobersuit, but I do not want to cut my hair.
Later I learned from someone else that for the duration of the internship you dont even touch the computer drafting tools, and all you do it run copies from the office to the production floor! And he also mentioned that he and a coworker tried to grow a goatee and they were told to shave them!
I am venting a bit, but this is plagueing me terribly. I have very little time to decide whether my hair is worth resume experience, 6 credit hours,and $140 a week. Any help would be appreciated, I am in a personal stalemate and am desparate to hear an experienced point of view.
Man, this is the first I've heard about the Chili-man's recent hair decision. What a shame; he really was a model of how good male hair could look. Oh well, as long as it was his decision, and not coerced, there's not much anyone can really say about it. On the other hand, I think the one celeb who we'll never lose is Ted Nugent; he's such a sociopolitical anomaly anyway, and he does seem to have the longhaired-identity concept that we here all all familiar with. If he didn't, he'd probably look like his fellow republicans :)! Another bunch I think will stay in the long club are the guys from Kiss (well, maybe not so much Peter, but the other three). Especially since they've got their revived 70's image to maintain (although I think Paul has always pretty strongly been longhaired, deviating only once in '81). So there's still some hope out there, guys! Not just in music, either, but rumor has it that Johnny Carson is growing it out now!
