Okay the thing about JM's hair: it wasn't even remotely cool to have a big ol' fro like that when he was in high school.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

What can we say? He's always been bad.

Well, he's about my sister's age, and all her (male) friends who could grow them had them. The Big Old Late 70s Welcome Back Kotter seemed to be all the rage. (There are also many pictures in her yearbooks that bear this out, and indicate an unforunate amount of man permage going around at the time.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Modesto, CA. And I'm vaguely embarrassed that I know that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Did his "real" voice bother anyone else during the A&E thing? Everytime he came on the screen and started talking, he wasn't so...Spike...anymore. Did not likey.

OK. I'm the same age as JM (I think). I've no idea what was hip in Modesto but in Manhattan, where I grew up, that look was 5-10 years behind the times.

He's 40, right? So he woulda started HS in either '79 or '80 I'm guessing. If memory serves me right, that 'fro look was worn but no longer cool. Surfer was cool. Punk was even cooler. Airsupply was not.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
My brother's a couple of years younger, and he totally had hair like that in high school. Natural, mind you. Of course, that doesn't argue for coolness.
Eeeee! It's the CARROT TOP EVIL TWIN PICTURES!!!
See, the yearbook headshot makes me think Brooke Shields. I dunno.

Art Crawl!!!
Hmmm, I think with hair that curly he probably didn't have much choice except to cut it really short. (Which also wasn't that cool.)
