A Closer Look At The

A Closer Look At The

• Beard Hair

The South

• The South has been referred to as a rebellious
  region
• The flag is a clear and very common symbol for
  the rebellion
• However, those rebel T-shirts lose their color,
  and it gets time to find a new symbol for
  rebellion

The Beard Long Hair
Long hair and facial hair are images of rebellion
As well as draw from earlier years in their life,
to maybe a teenage rebellious phase
Lynyrd Skynyrd named their band after their gym
teacher who was an inforcer and despised long hair
Im sure if she could, Janis Joplin would grow a
beard too
The audience is drawn in by the image of
rebellion, allowing them to gain that desire to
rebel as well
The long hair and beard tells the audience, I
have no time to shave, Im too busy drinkin
whiskey and playin rock n roll

The old building with the big columns give the
sense that is some kind of old southern mansion
Beard gives him a southern Identity
Because a majority of the band has long hair and
facial hair, and because they are all looking the
same way, a sense of unity is created
Who cares what I wear, its only rock n roll,
no fashion sense has the southern I dont care,
I do what I want attitude

Just Long Hair
The lack of beard tells me they are filled with
lots of teen angst and will soon grow out of it,
as many teens do
It tells me that yes, they want to rebel, but
rebellion takes up so much time that there is no
time to shave. They are just kids in grown up
bodies.
No identity, nothing is present that will allow
anyone to even guess where they are from
So whats the difference between having long hair
and lots of facial hair to just having long hair?

In an airport, giving nothing to relate to in
terms of location, airports are everywhere
Lack of Beard gives no identity
Notice how only half the band is looking at the
camera. Because of the lack of identity, if one
didnt know they were a band, one could make the
assumption they just met because of the lack of
unity,
Sporting the latest fashion with the lack of the
beard gives the feeling of them just being kids
in grown up bodies
