A Head Was Shaved!! Who Are Your Top Five BALD Artists? Grab a Stack of Bald Rock!

First up:  a huge thank you to Kevin (CanadianGrooves.ca) Simister for being a good sport.  He was not informed that I intended to shave my head live on the show, which I did Friday afternoon.  The hair was getting a little unruly, and I’ve pulled this stunt once before, so I thought why not?  Dare I say, why not?

The theme was Top Five Bald Artists.  Kevin and Jex (Jexcalibur.wordpress.com) brought great lists, and we had a couple of repeat artists.  Friends Peter Kerr, John Clauser, and Jazz King also sent in lists, which Jex read off the top during the hair shaving stunt.  You can read their lists below.

We also unboxed some cool physical product at the start of the show:  Some new stickers from Tim’s Vinyl Confessions, 2Loud2OldMusic, and Tee Bone Man.  A hardcover Guess Who book from friend Robert Lawson.  And a huge BRICK of 8-track tapes from the legendary Tim Durling.  Thank you for your generosity, Tim.  Always.

I’ll be posting a gallery of these new arrivals in a separate post.

Although this wasn’t a serious show, it was a hell of a lot of fun.  Sometimes the strangest topics actually inspire some thoughtful conversation, and that’s what happened here.  All joking and gimmicks aside, there was true appreciation here for these artists, and admiration of their courage to go bald.

Were you able to guess the bald artists in Harrison’s artwork below?  Three of them made our lists, and I revealed the answers live as we arrived at them (plus the fourth Lego artist).

Thank you for watching!

  1. You are absolutely bang on with the Harry Potter wands. Keen eyes.

    A lot of people suspect Blackmore’s wavy hairstyle of his older years isn’t real.

  3. Great show, Mike. P.S. – Yes, Blotto were from my home city Albany, NY, USA. I used to see ads for their club shows in the paper all the time back in the late ‘70’s before MTV.
