Help me out DU.

Bored with me look. Really toying with Steve's shag cut. Whatdyall think? Caveat. I wear bells when I'm not at work and have straight single layer long hair. In short, I look like an Allman Brother.

That's what I do. What little hair I have left just gets buzzed off once a month or so.

It's very low maintenance, and I don't even have to own a comb anymore.

I still say go for it. If you get bored with it later you can always grow it out again.

It's a shame. Although it was his alcoholism that did him in. Died in a house fire after a, night at the pub. Rolled his own smokes, but bummed a few at the bar. Speculation says it was a cigarette that started the fire. Found his body at the front door.....
RIP Steve.

Also had valium and coke in his system though, and he was found in his bedroom, he barely made it from the bed actually ... I just checked the wiki

Dunno how anyone can sing remotely decent while on blow, I really don't. Pot is really bad for my voice too, and booze more than a small amount is not real helpful. Now, opioids, otoh ... lol ...

I found alcohol would clear the vocal cords of cigarette tar. I'd gargle with whiskey before I hit the stage and my range would go up half an octave. And weed? Shit. Probably right about that, but the focus you derive outweighed any negatives for me personally. I was far more emotional and "in the tune" when I was high. Refused to go on stage without smoking a bowl first. But that's just me. I was always more rock n roll than professional......but alas, it served me well!

By ear I mean ... And it f***s up my ability to sing in tune, limits my range noticeably, and just generally makes me sing poorly.

Don't get me wrong, I've done so at home, or even band practice, but not before a gig. It makes me suck, pretty much. Oh, and it makes me forget lyrics like hell.

I'm kinda jealous that it helps you

special occasions (like one hit for a gig ... and once your system is clear, one hit will do ya) ... it's not likely to show up for > a day or two at most.

Depends I guess on how often you're tested and how precious the jerb is ...

But I hear ya ... hard to break with tradition

I mean super straight, dead straight, gravity-straight-to-the-floor straight.

I've only ever been able to wear it super long or super short.

I've tried layers a couple of times, but I've never been good with product or blow-dryers, so I'd end up growing it back out.

Luckily, that thin straight hair grows mad fast.

If you can pull it off, though, I say go for it!
