RANDY JOHNSON GOOD FOR MULLET POPULARITY
RANDY JOHNSON GOOD FOR MULLET POPULARITY
SAN FRANCISCO (Wireless Flash) First, Randy Johnson pitched the Arizona Diamondbacks to three World Series victories now he also may single-handedly bring back the mullet hairstyle. Thats the long and short of it from hairstorian Donald Harrison, who studies the 80s-era haircut on the MulletsGalore.com website. For those not in the know, a mullet is a style where the hair is short in front and sides, but long in the back or as fans describe it: Business in front, party in back. Although Johnson has trimmed his mullet slightly over the years, Harrison says the ballplayer stuck with it even when it was unpopular unlike todays trendoids who wear the do as retro-irony. Harrison hopes Johnsons mullet helps the style make a comeback, but admits the pitchers 6-foot, 10-inch frame handles the haircut better than most.
