Tonsorial Adventures
Unfortunate hairstyles which have lead to me being compared to various people over the years:
1) John Bon Jovi - 1994
Hairdresser-avoidance related near-mullet, combined with a whole summer’s worth of sun-bleaching.
2) “Like, a blonde Elvis or something” - 1995
Extreme bedhead while running late one day.
3) David Gilmour - 1997
After playing a Pink Floyd song at a school show. Comparison based on looks rather than guitar playing ability. Too short hair, too much food, plus weird proto-widow’s-peak lack of hair at temples (which has mercifully not gotten any worse in the last 10 years, leading to hopes that complete baldness can be staved off for a while.)
4) Damien Duff - 2005
When playing lunchtime football at Lionhead for the first time. The comparison was swiftly forgotten after all concerned actually saw me play.
5) John Constantine - 2006 (Yesterday)
The “every six weeks” rule has been comprehensively broken and the abomination is stretching eagerly skywards.
