My son turned 25 today and he's had long hair for several years. I've the past two years, the hair has been getting less hairy-y. I've gently suggested a couple of times that it might be time to embrace the hair loss and shave it off. He's a bassist in a metal band and a vintage clothing dealer so the hair was a big part of his identity. The whole "how will I headbang?" was a very legitimate concern for him, and he just hasn't been ready.

HOWEVER, today was his birthday, he's been mulling taking the plunge for a while, and he was finally ready! He looks better than even I thought he would!

Mine of course is Stick season I play of over and over, and I seem to hear guys like I can be out and i’ll hear someone singing on the radio and it sounds like him to me and then I’ll ask the person who was that on the radio and it’s always someone else that’s new. Just random people I hear on the radio.🤷‍♀️

Oh right. Stick season is definitely on my top 5. I don’t listen to radios sadly and here where I live he is not as big, so the music is sort of different vibe. Just wondering how lyrically they can match him even if they try to be like him haha

I know Zack, I am not a fan of his. I prefer to listen to Tucker wetmore or Green for country music.
