The Cancer Chronicles, Part 4A

It’s an unusual story for The Riff, but it’s still all about the music. And the hair.

Me, in July 2021, and in January 2022.

Hello.

It’s me.

I’m still Arthur.

But now I’m a face of cancer.

I got a buzz cut today. I couldn’t stand the shedding any longer.

To me, it’s shocking. So naturally, I had to write about it.

I’ve written several stories for The Riff. And many other stories across many other publications. I’m kind of interested in everything.

The first four parts are in other publications. I don’t know if I can mention them here, so I’ll refrain. But for some reason, before I began to number them, Part 2 was self-published. It is very short, and it is here.

Otherwise, you know how to find me, and you can follow my story there.

But music. Oh, music. It saves our souls.

I don’t know how to handle this other than with a sense of humor, so I thought it would be fun to make a list of my top ten hair songs.

Now I don’t normally sit around and think about my hair.

But today is not normal.

So here are my top ten hair songs, somewhat in order of how much l like them.

10. “Big Hair” — The Bellamy Brothers 9. “Cut Your Hair” — Pavement 8. “Get a Haircut” — George Thorogood and the Destroyers 7. “My Hair” — Ariana Grande 6. “I Am Not My Hair” — India.Arie 5. “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair” — Mitzi Gaynor (or “I’m Gonna Wash That Gray Right Out Of My Hair,” as in the commercials for Clairol’s Nice ‘N Easy hair products in the 1970s and 1980s). 4. “Sister Golden Hair” — America 3. “(Gimme a Head With) Hair” — The Cowsills and The Original Broadway Cast Recording 2. “Hair” — Lady Gaga And my number one hair song is: 1. “San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)” — Scott McKenzie Bonus Thought (because I did major in advertising and marketing): the hair product, “Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific,” made by the Andrew Jergen Company)!

Hair? What hair?

I’d put these songs in a nice, tidy audio package like so many of you other writers do in The Riff, but my computer is having issues, and I don’t have the patience to fuck around with something else I don’t know how to do today! I trust you know most of them.

Rock on.

Here are a couple of my stories you might like from The Riff. The second one is rather ironic. Maybe I did think about my hair too much!
