I know there is someone to blame for this haircut

One of the few photos I don't hate

Once upon time in a land far away a young girl with a new drivers license ran away from home. She ran away to San Francisco in an Orange Oldsmobile.  She wasn’t gone for very long but she still remembers what it was like to be away from home on her own with only Credence Clearwater Revival to keep her company. (I was poor those were the only cassette tapes I had - don’t judge me.)
 
Two guesses as to where I’m at this weekend?

I ran away to the Brown Apartments in downtown Portland. I aspired to have hair like Robert Plant or Ozzy Osbourne, but looked like an overinflated Carrot Top. I like to think I was the only guy who ever looked good in a mullet, except *maybe* for David Bowie or Joe Dirt.

Thanks to insider information, I won't guess where you are. But I will say hi to Bridget the Midget for ya.

Redheads unite!!

Wow! Thanks so much for sharing. That photo is fifty layers rich in nuance, tone, and history. In fact, all those photos you just posted are really interesting for us to help with the context of your life. Thanks!!!
