...kind of self-discovery or self-destruction that comes from shaving your head--a decision that unfortunately too many of my friends made during freshman year--which is probably analogous to subjecting yourself to radical personal change. The most frightening aspect is that despite the alteration, your hair more or less grows back into the same mop, flattering or unflattering as the case...
Anyone who's anyone knows that smoking has been portrayed in the mass media as being "sophisticated" for quite some time. In a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly, Leonardo DiCaprio was photographed with tousled hair, sophisticated suit and a cigarette between his lips. Even more frightening, the article interviewed numerous teenyboppers who professed their undying love for him. All of those interviewed were too young to buy cigarettes, but there is little doubt that the photo--and many others like it in so-called "glamorous" entertainment magazines--will influence their opinion of how smoking is really "cool," despite obvious health...

Most importantly, you'd see them on the charts and hear them on Top 40 radio. For a short time, this convergence of pop and metal was America's music...
...make it big in the '80s were hits like "Faithfully" (1983) by the five-man band Journey. But the genre didn't gain mass-market success until the mid-'80s. In 1985, REO Speedwagon recorded the classic "Can't Fight This Feeling." In 1986, Bon Jovi--with their big hair, rugged but soft looks and ordinary-guy sensibility--hit No. 1 with "Livin' on a Prayer." And a year later, Starship hit the top of the charts with the melodic "Nothing's Gonna Stop...
