So I was searching through the internet the other day for who knows what. I don’t know HOW I came across it, but I found a plastic wig for Halloween. It was the ‘80s Heavy Metal Wig’. Complete with bandana. I started thinking about the bandana, or as it is now know, The Rock Bandana. I started googling some old 80s rock stars, and surprisingly enough, many of them still wore the Rock Bandana.
As I looked at different 80s bands, I noticed that some bands actually NEVER wore the Rock Bandana. A way to be different from the norm? Perhaps they never found the right bandana material for them? What did (and still does in many cases) the Rock Bandana represent? Is it a meaningless question equal to “Why tight leather pants?”
tour in the 80's and I'm sure you put two hours into your Jim Gillette hair (google and see what I mean). lots of drugs and dirty women later you don't have it in you to do the do... throw on a bandana. But it's always been a cover up for balding rockers. My favorite is Little Steven from Springsteen's E-street band and the Sopranos... not my favorite musician, but it's always a treat to see him still sporting the bandana instead of the Soprano's wig. Watching him on the Sopranos is kind of like watching Max Weinberg on Conan.. you always forget he was a cool rockstar back in the day.. A side by side picture with the Mob wig and the bandana would show wonders. I guess everything goes back to dirty hippies ultimately.. they're the ones who first brought the bandana into rock & roll. Once again, I'm sure because they didn't want to deal with their hair.

Thanks for all the support - and I am going back to the dentist today.
Fucking Fantastic.
So a few thoughts this Monday!
~I put in my 2 weeks notice at my work - and I feel relieved!!! A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! Hooray!
~What do you think of the new layout? Josh helped me with my new title - although I haven't figured out how to get it to strech ALL the way across the top. It shows up really goofy on his mac - so if it looks silly to you - try using a different web browser - or stick to a PC.
~There is a new blog I frequent! It's a movie review blog called Come Play with Us, Danny. I think by the title you can guess what type of movies they watch.
The cleansing is a high powered water pic with vibration to knock all the plaque off with the combination of the two. Sounds easy, right? Well, it hurt like hell. My dentist had to give me Novocaine shots, which I’ve never had before. I was more afraid of the shots than the actual procedure. Stupid Cassie. In the areas of my mouth which were not completely numb – it felt like someone was sticking rebar in between my teeth!
“Hmmm….I love candy. Candy is really yummy. I wonder what my favorite candy is…”
“Cookies. I love cookies. I love cookies and milk just like grandma used to give me. The duplex kind. Yeah – with milk. Soft yummy cookies submerged in milk – with a spoon as my only tool to scoop it into my mouth. If you’re good – you can go buy cookies after you leave the dentist office. Just like when you had ear infections when you were little, and mom promised to buy you a new Strawberry Shortcake doll if you were good at the doctors. Would you like that? Would you like me to buy myself cookies? Cookies that melt in your mou…..”All this talk about Tarantino and Rodriguez made me watch Kill Bill the other night. I have decided that L'Arena by Ennio Morricone is my theme music for my upcoming life change.
I'll post the original gunfight on my Picture Blog if anyone is interested
If you’ve never listened to This American Life – I suggest you do so. You can listen to the radio programs on your computer for free (downloads are $1). I like to listen when I’m cleaning the house or doing homework (aka a design). It’s usually on NPR Saturdays at 2pm if you ever get a chance. Also, you can purchase CDs and listen in your car!
