Actually, I think Rotting Christ trumps all our band names.
During the early 70's in high school......wearing long hair meant that a judgement would be passed upon you. Long hair was an indication of drug use. Many teenagers were were called down to the principal's office and questioned. I had long hair, but it had little to do with drug consumption. I had a severe sinus condition, nothing over the counter would help, and I appeared visually to these people as a drug addict. I was constantly being questioned and I resented the accusations ...just as I resented my sister's hippie friends in the 60's. I was a devoted musician who wasn't about to destroy my ability/development on an instrument by taking the drug path...and only because I was suppose to follow the footsteps of everyone else. Then came the pressures of religious people pointing out the length of my hair, dark circles under my eyes, (sinus), and the music I listened to. The entire experience was not only annoying and offensive, but truly the most moronic one.
I bet those long hairs self pleasure themselves too.
“KNOW YOUR DOPE FIEND. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT! You will not be able to see his eyes because of the Tea-Shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim. He will stagger and babble when questioned. He will not respect your badge. The Dope Fiend fears nothing. He will attack, for no reason, with every weapon at his command-including yours. BEWARE. Any officer apprehending a suspected marijuana addict should use all necessary force immediately. One stitch in time (on him) will usually save nine on you. Good luck.

Oh God, I remember reading that book way back in the day. I can't say I bought into the concept, but it was a lark to read how f'ed up the main characters were. More of a comedy than anything else I would say.
How about all the Carlos Castaneda "Teachings of Don Juan" books? Never could understand what the lesson was supposed to be though.

A gentleman is defined as someone who knows how to play the accordion, and doesn't.
Casteneda had a good thing going, and really had ME wondering. But after "Tales of Power" he stretched my suspension of disbelief to the breaking point, and never regained it. The lesson was how to escape death, eventually. That was the point I saw; sneaking around the Eagle. Had he stopped after "Tales", I think he would have been a true legend. But he didn't, and blew the whole thing, despite the fact he took actual shaman activities and bound them into his narrative.

I wonder if that woman's rant was before or after Mark McGwire's steroid-influenced reign of MLB.
You don't always have to have long hair to have your drug use affect your looks. Look what happened to Sammy Sousa after he left MLB.

Was I supposed to stop smoking weed when I cut all my hair off (incl. a footlong ponytail) at 58 and shaved my head?
Is this like a Samson thing?

Nice! Well, it's good to know I can keep the look in a new profession, in case the editor gig goes south.
Of course, I'll have to get in shape, but that's another story.
