Summary
The social revolution of the Swinging Sixties led to a renaissance of unchecked hair growth, and long hair, especially on men, was worn as a political or countercultural symbol of protest and as an expression of masculinity. No-one who was affected by one of a turbulent decade's loudest controversies—or anyone who ever wondered what all the fuss was about—will fail to be interested in this personal account of when the 'us and them' divide between youth and elders was most profound.
