Hair we go, Hair we go, Hair we go.........

Written by Tommy's Purple Drumsticks !!

	" I'm the one with the worst hair cut." Tommy proclaims brightly at the opening words of an interview describing himself in 1987. " Oh come on, how many pop stars do you know with red hair and a side shed?" ( Tom informs the readers that a side shed is Scottish for a side parting)
10 years later he claimed his hair hasn't changed, " I'm the boy who never changes his hair style." Even brought into the discussion on the likes of GMTV and / or This Morning interviews and comparisons to Neil Kinnock and Boris Becker ( Marti and Toms words, 1997 ) or looking not unlike a Walton ( Dodgy children's pop magazine 1991) haven't gone a miss.
	Likewise, on the credible Capital Cafe programme in 1997, when Magareetea pizza person interviewed them she said " one thing that hasn't changed in the 10 years that the Wets have been together, I mean your fan base has changed a bit, your image has all changed but Tommy's hair, you've never changed your hair have you?" Tom in his ultimate wisdom and pissed, stonned and every other " I am not quite on this earth mood, " replied " when I was born I looked like this and when I die I will look like this, there you go, thank you."

The Tommy Cunningham hair debate extended to the higher reaches of credibility, that was, a mention on the Mark and Lard show in December 1997, when rather than telling the whole world that Tommy had left the band, in the band I refer to is Wet Wet Wet, they plunge in to take the p**s out of the ginger sidesheder, in that Wet Wet Wet have gone through so many images and stages in their musical career but Tommy remained uniformand everytime he goes to the barbers he asks for the same, a short back and sides. ( or something to that effect ) Oh Mark and Lard you are from this cause so amusing, apart from you are not because here is proof that Tommy changed his hair during the life and times of Wet Wet Wet.

TOM CUNNINGHAM : 1990 ISH
There are two conclusions that can be fabricated of this picture, either that he put forth effort to be hip and trendy and keep up with Jones' i.e. the rest of the band when they categorically choose to enlarge their woollon manes on the uppermost part of their bodies, or that the Cunningham was too idle to go to the barbers, unless the barbers were closed, but I doubt it. Me, I describe him as " something rather cute and ginger."
