considering that graydon carter made his bones by mocking trump in spy mag it's kinda ironic that he now seems to emulate teh donald's hairdo

"pop emo dudes" could be a whole sub-thread, much like "computer nerds who made their fortunes in the 80s"

look what happened to Fred Solinger after he stopped posting here *shakes head*

lol dan you are so mean

FIERCE

that joke is undercut a bit by my certainty that Fred no longer is ridiculously baby-faced but sometimes you gotta go with your gut even when it limits yr audience

Malcolm Gladwell, "10,000 hours" irritant

in a similar vein,

ah i think charlie 'chuck' kaufman's is okay, or maybe i'm just saying that because of the resemblance it bears to mine when i've gone a few months without a haircut.

yeah there's no way chuck looks as douchey as the other two. maybe i should have posted dave eggers instead.

I don't give a rip about Adam Levine one way or the other, but I like his hair here:

Jack Nicholson, Lakers fan and sometime actor

jack looking more and more like an old lady's sphincter

some of this hair is not shitty, but pretty amazing

no thread talking about old american celebrities should have the words "public" and "hair" so close to each other in the title

Death Cab For Cutie, 19th century boy prostitutes

(xp) 'merkins

ugh those spit curl things
not a good look w incipient baldness

That Gary Spivey dude does not belong on this thread. that hair is fantastic.

Also, a few Canucks on this thread (Gladwell, Kroeger, Mandel) so unless it's "North American public life" its kind of inaccurate.

never forget

Gladwell lives in NYC and writes for the New Yorker (I think he was even born in the UK, so let's link him over to their thread), Howie's been on American TV off-and-on for 20-some years, no idea who the Afghan hound is. xpost

Also, I've never understood where the "cutie" comes into play for the members of death cab. They all look like molesters.

Clay Aiken's looking kinda haggard

OH OH I KNOW WHERE THEIR NAME COMES FROM!! It's a song, one of the so-called "splatter platters" about teens who meet their death tragically/messily, often in high-speed motor vehicles. "Death Cab for Cutie" was by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, whoever the goodness THAT was.

yes, but with that name, there is some expectation that the band members might be attractive and not-a-one of them is.

I think that blagovich belongs on the thread about guys making that face

well no, IMO there's more an expectation that they would hunt down and kill attractive women and they all look like serial killers so it's secretly the most appropriate band name ever

Took way too long to get to Blago, imho.

Btw, can confirm that as of today, August 25, 2011, the Kate Gosselin haircut is still being worn around Chicago by middle-aged women.

blago's hair isnt v ugly tho, just distinctive

I don't actually know anything about music.

The director has long spoken about the impact his mother's death, when he was 11 years old, has had on his work: “All of my life, as my late father-in-law who was a psychologist said, I’ve been waking the dead. Part of that is a really good thing: I know how to make Jackie Robinson and Abraham Lincoln come alive for you. Obviously I’m a failure at the one that I really want, and of course that’s impossible,” he reflected. “I think the hair was just part of a connection. My hair was a Beatle cut when she died. I had had my last barbershop haircut when she was alive, and I don’t think I cut it until ‘75.”
