1737 Rock Head

I was at an event recently and I saw this guy with a bandanna on his head. You know the way they do it. Folded into a triangle and stretched flat across the forehead area then tied under a spray of hair in the back.
I've never been able to perfect the head-danna look. Maybe because I have too much hair up front. There's always a weird bulge underneath it when my forelock is compressed.
God forbid you should have a compressed forelock.
The guy I was with speculated that perhaps the head-danna was a precursor to the mullet. Obviously one cannot have too much hair on top to make it lie smooth. The short-shorn front and uninhibitedly hirsute rear of a mullet is perfect for adornment with a scarf. In the classic red tablecloth pattern or even an American flag.
Or heck, even a confederate flag. Mullet sprouters have been know to be lacking in political and cultural sensitivity. Any owner of a hairdo that proclaims "business in the front and party in the rear” is not likely to subscribe to any post, Saturday Evening or Emily.
Personally, I'm inclined to believe the mullet is not the actual precursor of the head-danna or vice versa. The progenitor I see is the skullet. That hairdo that has no hair in the front and most of the pate at all, but a lot of hair on the back and sides. The head-danna makes it seem as if all the luxuriant hairiness continues over the entire head.
Then again, maybe head-dannas trace back to rock and roll musicians, whose top hair is just wispy. With a head-danna, your sweat doesn't mat it down during a hot concert.
Yeah, that’s it. Balding Country stars have hats.
Axl Rose types have head-dannas.
America ya gotta love it.
