"...When the urban situation causes the distance between us to increase and our interactions to be less frequent we have to use novel means to attract attention: big hair, skimpy clothes and plastic surgery. We become walking billboards."
--David Byrne on his perfect city
Let's take a look at what else David Byrne has to say about hair:
From The Other Side of Life:
"I made a church of your hair-do
And I made a shrine of your legs"
From Why:
"I got skills and I got secrets, I can part my hair
I feel an empty space where love could be"
From Pirates:
"The night is gone
And the day is here
The stupid sun is shinin'
The moon reflects
Your hair's a mess
It's lovely imperfections"

From Glad:
"I'm glad I got hair, glad I got ears
I'm glad I got lungs, I'm glad I got tears
Glad that I never ever know what's real"
From Strange Ritual:
"Mmm--I see hairstyles
Scenes of beauty
Scenes that disgust me
I see me --
I felt awe
Felt disgust
I felt bliss
I felt lust
It’s — not unusual"
From Somebody:
"Somebody’s gettin’ outa bed
Somebody’s gettin’ herself dressed
Somebody’s combin’ back her hair
Somebody’s dancin’ down the stairs"

Off topic: I think I've angered the font Gods. Things are screwy. Working on it.
