Long Haired People
Gimme a head with hair
Long, beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming
Streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there (hair)
Shoulder length or longer (hair)
Here, baby, there, mama
Everywhere, daddy, daddy
-- The Cowsils, "HAIR"
Yes, long hair was another act. An act that people paid to see. Those with long, long, long hair-- mainly women-- were able to gather a crowd and elicit wonder just from being blessed with luxurious and serious tresses.
