Oy! Thanks for all the affirmations re: baldness. I started thinning at age 20, so I've learned to embrace my condition. No time wasted combing/styling/mousse-ing/or even drying, the list goes on. Plus I've got a nicely shaped skull, so there's that.
But if I had hair, I'd grow it out all shaggy like a classic rock god, and wear denim and leather and tattoos and rock shirts until I was old and grey. But there's something about MPB that flies against the rock and roll esthetic. Sad and shallow, but true. I still rock on the inside. Hell yes.

Good point about the artists probably not getting any money from the new flood of shirts. That's the real shame.

PS Also, in sci-fi, the advanced people of the future are almost ALWAYS bald. Even the chicks. Word.
