OK so I am off on another rant here…but that’s what the BBQ pit is for ain’t it?
Le me begin with 1962 and the Beatles land in America. I for one liked that long hair…it was cool. So alot of us ( me included) let our hair grow long and beatlesque ina sorta puddin bowl cut. It was daring and the girls like it.
Then the seventies came along and we all took the long hair a step further by not bothering to cut it at all…we just let it all hang out ala Jimmy Page etc.
Then came the even bigger hair of the 80’s… the age of the big hair bands and that was pretty cool too.
Then as the 90’s took hold some of us guys ( not all) got a fucking haircut. I talking about a pre-sixties got-a-job-haircut over the ears with gel and everything! A Cary Grant neat looking cut that endures for many of us today.
And don’t get me wrong there ain’t nothing the matter with men having long hair…
But…
Here is the part I don’t get.
The redneck sonofabitches that drive up and down the road with no muffler on their trucks with gimmie caps on and that over the collar-down-the-back hair hanging out. WTF is that? Is it some attempt at being as redneck as possible but in memory of the Beatles? It’s like… well, the front of the hair is gonna be conventional but the back shows by god that I am a fucking rebel. ummm huh they’re rebels alright… rebels without a clue driving up and down main street in their dually trucks getting 5 miles to the gallon.
I know that hair styles change from time to time but this one just seems to have hung on forever …suspended somewhere between Mayberry, feeding the fucking hogs and Motley Crue. I suspect that, that Travis Trit bastard et al is the cause of most of it. Now this may seem like another rant altogether but those country singing fuckers with the cowboy hats and that hair stickin out of the back have got to go. Its a sacrilege… Roy Rogers and Gene Autry would not approve! And once again let me add the caveat that I love CW music but…who the fuck wants to look at a cowboy/beatle.
As originator of long hair in this century I want John Lennon to come back to earth and issue a decree that says: Remember the Beatles?? We started it…so quit your fucking waffling and either grow it long or cut it off and while your at it get a real job!
Disclaimer to the entire world…“nothing personal.”
There’s a name for that haircut, and a really funny website with pictures of some of the more well-known folks who sport it – like Billy Ray Cyrus for one.
Starts with an M, I think – Malone? Maroon? Mulligan? I dunno.
It’s a Mullet. It was very popular when I was in high school (late 80s). I know someone who recently cut his off. He didn’t seem to think it was a rebel thing to have one; he is married, and owns and loves Shih Tzus, so he’s definitely not trying to be macho. But where he lives, it is still an accepted style. The further from any big city you go, the further back in time you go.
I cannot stand this kind of hairstyle either. I want to tell the person “Shit or get off the pot. Either have long hair, or short hair. You can’t have both simultaniously.” The rest of us have to choose, so should they.
oh it’s BAD, very VERY BAD, but it’s even worse if that “2 in 1” haircut is on a woman.
oh God! :rolleyes:it’s horrid!
What are these people thinking?? :eek:
someone please explain this apparent psychosis
I am a fire whose flames lick and spit at the boundless sky forever desiring wonderous consummation

That seems to be a common haircut among lesbians. Perhaps they can’t decide whether to be butch or femme. (insert appropriate smiley here to convey the fact that I am just kidding and that I am not a homophobic bigot so please don’t flame my ass off) I dunno why they do it, though.
BTW, Michael Bolton has cut his hairdo off. He is still a freakin’ lame-o wussie-ass loooooser. Who has made more money that I will ever see in my lifetime by catering to the bored frustrated housewives and secretaries of the world. Okay. Now you can flame my ass off.
Having grown up in extreme northern NY (a rural area where the men are men and the women are too), I called it “hockey hair” because it seems to be the hairdo of choice for hcokey players. Even when I visit my family now, it’s like stepping into the '80s. A lot of people (male and female) still have hockey hair. It was unattractive then and it’s even worse now.
Yep Satan I can’t even stand to *look[/] at my high school pictures…talk about lame…
but then we go through stages…well most of us do but there are guys out there right now with that "deer guttin’,truck drivin mullet hair-do that are in their late thirties at least! Right out of deliverance…
It looks a lot better than the woman with 1" long hair in tight perms though. Pardon me, shouldn’t that be in red or purple, Madam.
Someone like the above mentioned said, I sould get my hair cut. I’ve been growning it for five years now thanks to them. My hair’s curly, and looks sort of like the Greek curly long hair of old, about 12" long. I had some guy with thin stringy hair get a perm to try and copy it once. That lasted about two weeks for him.
You’ld love the sight of my hair after riding ATV’s all day in the dirt. Actually everyone looks like shit after a day of riding. Filthy dust or mud everywhere.
I’m only your wildest fear, from the corners of your darkest thoughts.
On the same note, why do so many men with long hair not seem to take care of it? A guy my best friend dated in college had metalhead hair, and he refused to use conditioner or ever get his split ends trimmed off, so he had a stringy clumpy ratty mess of hair that really grossed me out. Long hair can be beautiful on men or women if they take care of it.
