Cut Yer Hair, Boy!
BESSEMER, Mich. - Gordon Mills, 17, goes to high school every three days, gets his assignments, hands in his homework and then gets thrown out again. It’s been that way since November 10th, simply because Gordon wears his hair a couple inches too long.
Mills, a lead guitarist in an Upper Peninsula rock and roll band, is probably going to flunk out of school because of it and he and his father have taken the entire show to court, with a $5000 damage suit. The suit maintains that Gordon has a constitutional right to long hair.
According to Principal Ciofetelli of Johnston High, “Why can’t he wear a wig when he plays in the band? I play in a rock and roll band, I really do. And we’re not schmaltzy.” On the other hand, there were always the skinheads.
