The Truth About Hair.

[AlicetheKurious]

A little digression: I was lucky enough to experience a bit of the sixties at a very impressionable age, before they were gone. When I first saw the 1979 movie version of "Hair", it felt disturbingly fake, hollow, lacking that je ne sais quoi of the real sixties. But when I saw it later (many times), I couldn't understand why I had felt that way. I loved it, and suddenly it felt "real". Listening to the two versions of Hair -- first the movie version then the original -- just reminded me.

A dear departed friend of mine was the guitarist in the band of the 1968 London stage version of Hair. His description of what it was like sounded like Spinal Tap meets Waiting for Guffman .

I was thinking that you should have lived in Xinjiang, where most of the women have very long hair and where anyone with blond hair is seen as lucky. A platinum blondie friend who travelled their said she was inundated with people touching her hair like it was some sort of lucky charm, even people in the street asking her to hold their infants 'for good luck'

When you posted that video of yourself talking about stuff, you had very short hair. In fact I thought to myself, she needs more hair.

I think their hair is boring, but I really enjoyed the song.

It was up in a twist otherwise it drags in my paint while I'm working. Or my food if I'm eating.
It's up most of the time, really.

I was thinking how the posts above about warriors removing hair and the whole hair movement of the sixties.
It seems for most primates grooming others and oneself is a way to minimize aggression and build pleasure bonds.
It seems like removing hair is a way of opting out of grooming opportunities. But I guess waxing, shaving, etc are forms
of grooming. And maybe more frequent haircuts are more grooming opportunities?

I still tend to think of hair as a signifier of our humanism, our "natural" attributes. It seems most science fiction conceptions of humans in the future; the hair is gone. I think because it is a reminder of our affinity with the animal world which conflicts with the regular polished chrome antiseptic conception of human progress.

I'm wondering if Nordic thinks the song is boring, but really enjoys the hair

Okay, the girls are lovely, the song is fetching, and the hair is wonderful, but I have to say that my normal lustful response to such betressed females is rather stunted, nay, nullified, by the apparent youth of the girls, who appear to be no older than my stepdaughter.

But yes they are lovely and were I to gaze upon them in real life, I would undoubtedly find myself lost in rapt fascination at the sight of that long brunette hair, but my enthusiasm would be purely aesthetic and not sexual. Unless they could show me a birth certificate that proved they were of age. (Kidding)

Just came across this:

"William Barclay mentions an old rabbinic tradition which alleges that it was the beauty of the women's long hair that attracted and tempted the angels in Genesis."

Also thought of that movie Avatar where they connect to dragons and trees with a hair receptacle thingie.
