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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Well, he's about my sister's age, and all her (male) friends who could grow them had them.
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.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

I didn't see the A&E thing--but I do avoid cons and interviews with James to avoid this.

cereal to add that I've finally gotten the nerve to click the links to the pictures. Not as bad as I was expecting. Totally early 80's. At least his curl is natural. My dad had the 80's 'fro and it was a perm. * shudder *

From my brief stay in Modesto (for my bro and SIL's wedding), I have to say it's not exactly the most happening corner of California. I'd buy them being a bit behind Manhattan trends.
Which reminds me I really need to find out if SIL ever knew JM. She's only a few years older, and IIRC he's a Methodist PK, and her family faithfully attended the biggest Methodist church in town...
