Pretty funny!
 
I think it was the fact that baby boomers became an economic force at a younger age than generations before them, and the world started catering to us, that we started to think our sh*t doesn't stink.  Now that the boomers are starting to wear Depends, and we're starting to be seen as "old and in the way" (just like our parents), we're discovering otherwise.

I'll bet the guy in the video has the bald man's fringe, but decided to shave it all in order to seem younger and edgier and still relevant.  LOL

Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines.... "why is he totally bald?"
 
He's probably got the side curtains with the domed roof, but figures it makes him look too much like Gavin MacLeod as Murray Slaughter. Shocked

If I reach that point, I'm going for the combover.  I haven't decided yet if I'm going with the sideways combover or the kind where you part your hair near the nape of your neck, and comb forward.
 
By the way, Gavin MacLeod was younger than us when that picture was taken.  Depending on the year, he could've been 13 years younger than me.  LOLShocked

It seems like just yesterday that I was singing...
 
Glory, glory, hallellujah
Teacher hit me with a ruler
Bopped her on the bean with a rotten tangerine
And she ain't my teacher no more

Just go for the hair transplants.
 
They can do amazing things nowadays with mini grafts & micro grafts.
 
Just look at Elton John...
 
 
 
Then                                                                          Now
 
Plus, you can finance it & make monthly payments. Thumbs%20Up

I'd look really good as that Flock of Seagulls sort of guy in the upper right, but I think cornrows would be the best look for me.

At least it's my favorite color, anyway.

I've always kinda wanted blue hair.

I used to know this comedian, Monty Hoffman, who used to say that he wasn't going bald...he just had a really wide center part.

You'd think, with all the cloning tech there is these days, they could figure out how to clone hair folicles. LOL

Elton really overcompensated here.  Most guys don't have hair like that unless they are 12.
At his age, guys at least have a forehead.
