A lush and flowing mane of hair used to be one of the prime armaments of any self-disrespecting rock star and the inordinate length and shagginess of said accessory would, more often than not, be the very thing to alienate 'the squares' and to send a shiver of delight down your spine. Now though, as the greats visibly crumble into their dotage it's interesting to note how many of them appear to be topped off by a suspiciously fulsome and youthful mop of hair. Of course there are honourable and noble exceptions.
Townshend wears his shining pate with pride.
Elton makes no secret of his transplant.
Morrissey seems untroubled about the ever-diminishing quiff.
Macca has come clean many times about dyeing the once-famous mop...
...and Keef only makes a half-hearted attempt to conceal this increasingly pubic bonce with a bandana...
but have you noticed that Ronnie Wood has the face of a sixty year old but the hair of someone in their twenties?
And what about Mick? ( I reckon he started wearing a piece around 'Performance')And Bowie?? And Bill Bloody Wyman??
I keep wondering what these dudes would look like without their alleged 'hair'. Their pictures in the attic I suggest. Any other 'suspiciously maned' rock god geezers out there??
