I also had very long hair which I cut short(er) on January 2nd, 1980. It seemed like the 60s and 70s were finally over to me at the time. And I felt like a change. So I kept it sort of semi-long, but not like it had been. Then I got a loony girlfriend who wanted it pretty short, so I went along with her for awhile on that. Then I started growing it longer again after I broke up with her. It's now somewhat long and bushy...sort of like Dylan's in '66 more or less.
