What a week it was, Maestro! I remember how radical the Beatles' haircuts seemed at the time. Shortly thereafter, my contemporaries followed suit and it was not well received - particularly in the environment in which we then lived. Fifteen months later, I arrived back in the U.S. and I recall sitting in a hotel in San Fransisco watching TV with my family. The Byrds were on the tube - can't remember which song they were singing - possibly "Mr. Tambourine Man." I just remember being being amazed at the long hair and the pink specs worn by the lead singer.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

That was Roger James McGuinn, sartorial splendor and all. I didn’t start encountering long hair in the world until I started college in ‘66.
