I used to have long hair, with that shaved undercut. I looked kind of like the
Undertaker from the WWE. All one length. I've had a shiny pompadour for about
four years. Even when I was a long-hair I admired that 50's look. Funny though,
when I started playing in bands we did mostly punk or metal and long hair wasn't
a pre-requisite, although all the guys we knew from Poison type bands all went
bald. Must have been the hairspray. Oh yeah Kristena, Deadbolt rule. The first
album I bought was "Shrunken Head." Those guys are hilarious. I'd love to see
them play live.

That's pretty good. If you ever see Deadbolt, you will hear a lot of
anti long-hair sentiment.
