Rich’s Note: Perms (from 2000)
One reason I get my hair cut in an old fashioned barber shop is because I don’t like the smells in those unisex salons. When I was young, I used to watch my Aunt Ruth and my grandmother giving each other permanents, wrapped up in plastic and cloth, wearing rubber gloves, tightly rolling up their hair in little curls, and daubing that foul smelling chemical on each bobby pinned or sponge-wrapped curler. The odor seemed to permeate the house for days.
For the first week after the perms, my gran’s and aunt’s hair was tightly curled, looking a bit like Harpo Marx’s hair. But by the second week their hair was lovely. The second week of the perms made all the stink and mess worth it.
And that’s the picture of them I carry in my head . . . in the second week of a new perm, smiling and happy with themselves, turning the heads of men wherever they went. So I don’t go to the salons where the odor of chemicals has seeped into the walls.
I prefer my memories neat.

Do You Remember?
Kodachrome
Paul Simon 1973
When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It’s a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn’t hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they’d never match
my sweet imagination
Everything looks worse in black and white
Kodachrome, etc.
