(how is your hair?) What is the big deal about the dead cells that lay on top of our scalp? Was hair ever personal or was it always, was there always a factor of it being something to be talked about, analyzed, something that represented something bigger than the self? How does hair play a role in our bigger story of who we are in this moment? What is a question you’re asking these days? Theme Music: "Thunderdome (W.T.A)" by Portugal.
