23 Sep 97 - 06:33 PM (#12994) Subject: Bald headed men From: sgcarneal@rocketmail.com I heard a song by a female blues artist on a radio station out of state while driving one night. She was singing the praises and virtues of bald headed men. I've got a very bald friend who has a birthday soon and would like to get the lyrics or at least who the artist is - any thoughts? Thanks!

It is a song that perhaps should be posted up in our treehouse, given its lyrics. The song was on a double-album live with many other blues masters. Mr. Cleanhead was his theme song. I venture to post one verse: "If it hadn't been for you women, I'd have my curly locks today, If it hadn't been for you women, I'd have my curly locks today, But I been hugged and kissed and petted, until all my hair been rubbed away. . ." He also did on it an amusing song with the first line "I took the front door in, but I had to take the back door out",. |

I don't like men who exaggerate
Everybody knows it's testosterone
Why would you waste your money joining that hair club for guys?
No matter how you fight it, time marches on.
Now, I don't know if this is the song you're looking for, but it certainly must apply to a large number of the male participants here. As singer-songwriters go, I think Christine Lavin is pretty good. She's certainly clever, and occasionally almost profound. |
25 Sep 97 - 07:31 PM (#13210) Subject: RE: Bald headed men From: pete savage now i'll apologize up front for this posting not being songs, but as my hair continues to thin, i've accumulated a few bald head perspectives... a belgian friend of mine (where sensitivities to mistresses are much less than in the u.s.) said his father said he was bald because his wife pulled out all his dark hair to make him look older and less attractive to other women, and his mistress pulled out all his gray hair to make him look younger, and more attractive when she was with him. a bald headed men joke... men who are balding in the front are very intellectual men who are balding in the back are very sexy men who are balding in both the back and the front only think they are very sexy. cheers! pete |

01 Jan 05 - 06:23 PM (#1368998) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bald-Headed Men From: GUEST,Ken B. You can get used to being bald. The Younger you are the harder it is. I started going bald at 19. Now age 44 I am growing my hair back I lost 20 years ago. I can't tell you how happy it makes me. When I first realized I was growing hair, I wanted to scream from the top of a mountain "I am growing hair". I never thought I would be able to grow hair again. In summary going bald sucks. You get used to it. Growing hair is great. Ken P.S. My latest pictures: http://www.rk19.com/images/Kenupdate123104.jpg |
