Lindsey's Hair Follicles
 
After reading recent discussions, I am curious if you would prefer style A or B.

You should make a this pic with LB's Mirage hair instead of Justin hair.

Silver Springs 02-03-2011 03:47 PM

Lindsey B is hideous :(. A all the way.

Nico 02-03-2011 04:26 PM

Lindsey B looks like Phil Spector.

gretchen 02-03-2011 04:37 PM

B looks like quasai Liberace :p.

mylittledemon 02-03-2011 04:58 PM

haha poor Lindsey. Well, he'll have to start wearing a wig by the next Fleetwood Mac tour... or he can just "Costanza it up" :nod:

TerraRhiannon 02-03-2011 05:12 PM

Hahahaa, this is too much. Lindsey has caught Beiber fever!!! :laugh: grosss...

bluefox4000 02-03-2011 05:16 PM

I think I threw up a little with B......now I'll have nightmares.

Villavic 02-03-2011 06:10 PM

after a long reflection on this transcendental poll, I think I'd choose a Lindsey with Rod Stewarts late 70's haircut

After reading about the Heart & Soul tour, he may have realized that's the way to get back together with Stevie Nicks.

elle 02-03-2011 07:51 PM

Ha-ha, love it!
1) he's gorgeous in A
2) he looks hideous in B.

But - he doesn't have as much hair as in A anymore. And however hideous B is, it does bring to the attention the fact that his face looks much younger with that horrible hair. His current hairdo / balding stage is aging him, and his face (and the rest of him) would look younger if he had different looking hair.

If he invests in a rug or hair plugs I'm going to fly over to his house personally and slap him. I don't think there isn't a real way of him to win the battle with his hair apart from letting it do what it wants to do. If he lets it grow longer he's in serious risk of getting a whole Art Garfunkel thing going on, and hair replacement has never and will never look good. Natural is beautiful, thus why we didn't evolve with heavy duty foundation on our faces and perfectly manicured and lacquered nails.

don't know, the way he wears it now (up in the front) it already looks Garfunkel-ish. i actually like Mick's hair/look much better now, neatly tucked in a pony-tail, than the way it was for the last 30 years before that, since he started balding (i'm not saying lindsey should grow it long and wear a pony tail:laugh:, just that there might be some other options from the one he's been sporting). i think he should grow it longer in the front and comb it towards the back (look at that "me" video, his hair was much longer in the front then, and combed back, not up).

MissLadyLoki 02-03-2011 09:57 PM

I got one thing to say to option B: oh God no! :laugh:

Now, seriously, with his forehead getting bigger, I personally think he'd look good in a hat, maybe a fedora lik in the Gypsy music vid. It could blend in well with his style and cover up his hair loss

BaronVonBielski 02-03-2011 10:33 PM

It's not that bad guys. C'mon now... He's 61. It's slowly receding. I'm sure he has still a few years before it gets even in the same zip code as a Mick Fleetwood style.

Oh no!!! Not the hat look. It's out of character for him and I can't even dream of Lindsey in a fedora. He's such a minimalist that any accessory outside of the occasional necklace just seems...strange.

I think we've been spoiled for so many years of LB having such thick, lustrous locks that now the idea of him losing any of that hotness is hard to swallow. I agree with the ones who say he just needs to figure out a different way of styling it. I'm sure it would make him look less rough. And perhaps he could switch up the outfits from time to time. His choice of the same predictable outfits/colors just make him look more dull. Spice it up LB! Wear something...bright pink or teal once in a while. It's ok to experiment with color.

I know it's not that bad, but this is Liddy Buck we're talking about, the guy who always had hair that made most guys and even some girls jealous, and to see him (slowly) lose it gets some fans weirded out (and had me jumping on the bandwagon)

Depending on the outfit, a hat could work for him, like if it was a modern take on the Tusk suit, but really does need to work on a better wardrobe. Maybe he doesn't have much cause all the closet space is taken up by pears :laugh:

I'd hope that even young Will is shrewd enough to eschew the Bieber do.

Thinking about what his kids might be into, I wonder what type of paternal sacrifices Lindsey has made. I saw David Duchovny on tv saying that because of his daughter, he has seen the Twilight movies and has even chosen a side between Edward and Jacob (his family is Team Edward), so I wonder what Lindsey has done for his 11 year old. Has he asked a Jonas brother for an autograph?

Stevie predicted that he would be taking little girls to their ballet lessons, but he'll have to do more than that to keep up his Dad cred.

Very clever Nikki...made me smile...and nicely done.

I'd like to see someone show what Mr. B. would look like today if he still had the Afro and goatee (sp) from the 70's, but in a grayer color.

I bet he could be mistaken for one of the homeless, under those circumstances. Michele

I know he would look like a bum, but can anyone here handy with Photoshop make that? Ten bucks says he'll look like a bum on a street corner in Manhattan

I always forget Lindsey has kids who probably listen to Justin Bieber and Katy Perry. Shoot, his kids could easily be into hipper stuff than that. Will is probably full-fledged hip-hop fan for all we know.:nod: Lindsey probably lives vicariously through his kids' Facebook statuses.:laugh:

Can we see an image of Lindsey bald just so we know what we're up against in the future?

His hair does look good compared to lots of other men his age. For me, it's not so much about his looks as it is about the hair issue making it clear that he's getting older. Of course. in theory, I knew he couldn't live forever, but it will be pretty hard to take when he's gone.

That does not bear thinking about - but these days if you're fit and healthy 61 is not old at all, and I think we'll have him around for many years to come.

Look at our Cliff Richard over here - he's 70 and, like him or not, he looks incredible and is not slowing down at all.

And what about The Rolling Stones, they look decrepit but are still rocking that stage!

michelej1 02-05-2011 02:05 PM

You know what will be hard to take? If he slows down during the live shows. That will be a wake up call. Hopefully one we won't get for another 5 years.

I was thinking the same thing as I pondered the potential of an upcoming solo tour. I was wondering if the seemingly sudden showing of age (Lindsey has always looked good/young for any of his ages) was due to the demands of the Unleashed tour.

It's a double-edged sword - yes, the demands of a many date world tour must be draining, on the other hand he looked so totally alive and vital and happy on that stage; and he's the one who never wants to leave the stage!

I think those long tours are probably fun and exciting and that offsets the tiredness.

He is so physically fit, he can take it - let's have another Mac tour please in the not too distant future.

This. 100%!!! I know we sometimes b1tch about LB being kind of skinny, but he is in incredible shape. He runs around like a 20-something on stage and he OWNS the FM live shows, period. So I am both eternally grateful and blown away by his mesmerizing talent and if he can keep it up for as long as he can or can't I'm still there for him. (I'll bet he starts throwing in some acoustic stuff where he stands instead of actually sitting on a stool or taking breaks. JMO.)

BaronVonBielski 02-06-2011 09:45 PM

How did he go from being kinda bloated and pudgy during the Dance Tour to where he was fit and trim by 2001? It seems like it has never been discussed. I'm assuming he started working out or something. You gotta respect him for keeping in great shape at 61.

It seems like a lot of people ( at least that I know ) go through a heavy stage in their middle years. Even the ones who were always so fit. I always figured, between his brother's death, bad relationships and whatever else, he just kinda "let himself go", and by 1997 it pretty much caught up with him. It happens...

But, again I have to say that other than his face, he really didn't look heavy at all - to me. In other videos shot around that time, and in photos, he was still pretty skinny - not like he is now - but skinny by most people's standards. Which is why I think it was probably due to Rx meds more than anything.

Anyways, He's naturally slim. I doubt it was hard to get it off and keep it off once he married Kristen. Looking at her, they probably eat really healthy! To me he doesn't look like he works out too much, but maybe walks or swims whenever he can :shrug:

He does own the FM shows - it's hard to look anywhere but at him. I swear I drooled so much at the Unleashed gig that the front of my T-shirt was soaked! I don't think I've ever seen anyone as charismatic as Lindsey.

I wonder if he still swims. It's funny how Mick was the one using the gym equipment on Destiny Rules.

I marvel at how Lindsey started to slim down during the Dance tour. When I look at the boots, it appears that he has dropped at least 20 pounds from the beginning to the end. For the RRHOF, for instance, he looks thinner than he does on The Dance DVD.

I have no gradual weight-loss footage to go by. I only recall seeing the Dance and then seeing Live in Boston and thinking, "Wow, that dude lost some weight." I never saw the Dance tour weight loss, as I wasn't really an FM "follower" so I have never really seen pics/footage from around that time, never mind consistent tour dates documenting every angle of LB's body.

But he is notably skinnier these days then he was back then, and I have no idea when/how it started. He was thinner in the BTM, but he also looked about normal thin for him so it never registered. During the SYW tour is when you can really see it.

(Man, if LB ever did read this board he would probably be aghast at how we have micro-examined his hair, his clothes, his wife's career, and now his weight. Hey! Maybe if he released some info/pics/twitter updates/I don't care what it is but SOMETHING pertaining to this new album we'd be focusing all of our attentions on that. But alas, here we are. :laugh: )

Yes, I thought it kind of amazing to see him lose weight in a matter of 8 weeks. Then, the RRHOF was just the following year.

I saw a lot of Dance shows for just a short tour and then I collected as many boots as I could find, even the ones graded "C." I couldn't really have done it, given my employer back then, but if I could go back in time, knowing that it was Christine's last tour, I would have tried to travel and see every last one of those concerts. I still feel sad inside over the whole thing, really. Can't get over or around it.

My feeling was that it was the beginning for FM. I thought they'd finish that short tour, go into the studio and do another album and then do a longer tour after that. With that kind of mindset, I was actually glad when the tour was over because I thought that would mean they'd get back into the studio sooner. Yes, I heard that Chris wanted to stay in England, but I thought they'd talk her out of that. And Lindsey kept talking about wanting to pay attention to his solo album, but I ignored him:laugh:.

Knowing what I know now, I wish I could Dance again.

Michele
