As a survivor of the '60s (who didn't do enough drugs to forget it) I'm reading this with my mouth open. Where did the last half century go? Not only there are still schools where long hair on boys is a major issue, but there are still people who get fired up and insist that nothing, you hear, nothing could be more important than this young lout GETTING A HAIRCUT!
If you're going to do nostalgia and retro, why not bring back something funny, like flares?
I agree. I also survived the 60s and 70s, and I still remember all the talk about long-haired hippies. Lots of guys wore their hair long, and many still do. Can't believe people still have a hang-up over that sort of thing in this day and age.
I don't recall that my school had any dress code. Long hair was common. Kids could wear jeans and t-shirts with stuff written on them. Jack Daniels t-shirts were pretty common, as were the "Mr. Zog's Sex Wax" t-shirts that a lot of kids liked to wear. If you wanted to smoke, all you had to do was walk across the street, off school grounds. Now, my old high school has a large wrought iron fence around it, along with security guards to control entry and exit. It's like a prison now. There were no fights at the school either, since much of the student body was so stoned that nobody felt like fighting.
Ah, the good old days.
