I was in a local restaurant over the weekend at one of those places that only serve breakfast. Upon entering the building I was passed by an old lady and an older, stocky man, and while we slipped past each other in the small vestibule the old man looked up at my wife and I and said, “excuse us ladies”. His wife had a good laugh, and soon they were gone.
     Now, I have long hair. Not metal long, but not short either. Just a little bit longer than, say, the army would approve of. But this man's revival of the “guys don't have long hair debate” caught me off guard. I thought this was over. I mean, hippies didn't manage to accomplish everything they were after, the capitalist pigs still run everything, we still fight wars for no good reason, it is still money, and not love, that makes the world go 'round, but one thing I thought we had pretty much covered was the whole long hair thing. We won that. It is now acceptable for men to have long hair.
    Just look at Jesus. In most contemporary renderings of Jesus he has long hair. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT OLD ASS BASTARD CALL JESUS A LADY. It just surprised me that such old school notions of public decorum still exist. Probably won't for much longer though.
