From Beatles to Bieber

How can two musical styles be separated by over four decades and yet offer almost no variation in the hair styles of the musicians? That’s just the question we ask ourselves when we look at teen pop sensation Justin Bieber and the most loveable of the Fab Four, Paul McCartney.
Bieber melts the hearts of many, his doe eyes playing peakaboo with the audience behind the sweeping locks of his McCartney mop cut. For those who are unaware of Justin Bieber, he’s the current flavour of the month super-teen heartthrob (enough said). And for those unaware of Paul McCartney, we wouldn’t know where to begin. Aside from their stylists these two individuals share another important trait: they’re in high demand.
Terapeak’s top 5 list of the most popular music on eBay shows that we can’t seem to get enough of our shaggy-haired singers. Perhaps this should prompt music lovers everywhere to take heart (don’t worry, The Beatles are at no.1). Maybe the kids today who go crazy for Bieber on MTV share a special bond with their parents who once grew their hair to an unacceptable length to be more like Lennon. It is said that individuals identify themselves by the music they listen to. And if you ask any musician you’ll know that popular music is all about the image. Therefore, can the listeners be so different when the hair-do is so similar? We’re inclined to believe not; after all, pop music is meant to make you feel good. And what could be better than a new reason to feel closer to your folks? If nothing else it’s proof that Bieber is picking up where McCartney left off; working tirelessly to help us all stop worrying about how big the generation gap is between parents and children and teaching us to just “let it be”.
