and thanks for that,  I was hoping you'd say something since I wanted to
add-  the article sonded to me like "he'd grown this RnR ponytail
specifically for RnR", which is about the stupidest thought in the world
IMHO, as I always thought you grew YOUR HAIR, and then occasionally pull it
back in a tail, etc.....
My friend Pierre is getting a bit senile at 58, so I am glad he was not too
far off....My statement about them being too big was jesting of course,
friend said they just are not really an opening act, and the USA just never
worked out much for them
the usual east-coast to west-coast type tour jumping, etc
I had fun with this, is my whole point, and that tail certainly had to
quo.....(imo)
add: it is still a heck of a LONG time posing a ponytail, a realise....
