: The 50th anniversary of the Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan show is fast approaching. It will be celebrated on that exact date, Feb. 9th, with a 2 hour exposition, aired on CBS. Iam one of the many young men who started combing their hair differently at that exact moment in time. My hair has consistantly been longer than "The Norm" since and has gone through m,any permutations. ending today with what i had inthe late 60s and through the 70s, My longer than mid-back length. It is a part of my basic self. So was it an outside influence, or just an intrinsic feeling you know had to be done?
I decided I had to have long hair that fateful day when the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan show. It's been long ever since.
For me the Beatles were the sole influence.
I found out many years later that David Bowie also had long hair
at the time but I hadn't heard anything about it until it was
metnioned on this site recently.
But the Beatles influenced me to have long hair and I soon
discovered I was born to be a long haired male.
I'm 59 now and have had long hair for 49 years.
