Power Quote: The Comb Over

Now that even professional athletes are wearing mohawks, I’m pretty sure the only transgressive hairstyle is the comb over.

—My buddy Jordan

Maybe we should all start writing melodrama. Should we? Would that be the most transgressive choice we could make?

***

Wait, are we transgressive? Are we trying to transgress now? I can’t remember.

      There is one definitive word, and only one definitive word, on the combover, and that word belongs to David Kirby’s BABY COMBOVER.

      Read it, commit it to memory, recite it in elevators in the Empire State Building.

      PS

      Spellcheck says ‘combover’ doesn’t exist. There is goes again. Comboever. OK, comb over.

      Can even transgression be transgressive? It’s inextricably linked to the established or accepted. It defines itself (or is defined) by its relation to them.

      Maybe the ultimate transgression is to know and not care.
