Yep, interesting thread isn't it?

It certainly has informed me about who I'd like to spend on obs night with - or a cloudy night. And Caleb is invited.

I must say I'm a bit amazed at the 'if you have long hair you must...' assertion. In the 70s when recent long hair fashions were only a decade old (look at Sir Isaac et al for older examples) you could explain the misconceptions as ignorance. How do you explain it 30+ years later? Slow learners??

I'm writing this while listening to Jan Akkerman's Aranjuez. Now who would have thought that some 'long hair' who plays electric guitar screamingly fast with all the FX would have the *discipline* to play classical guitar with an orchestra. You just can't judge a book by its cover, can you?
