Why I love Alison Mosshart.
"... I shaved my head when I was 12 years old.
My parents were out for their wedding anniversary.
A Sonic Youth video came on TV and I was mesmerised. I had long hair at the time,
bleached by the Florida sun. I cut through it with scissors first -
I knew I would be murdered for it, but once I started, I couldn't stop.
I tuned the razor on and ran it over my head until there was nothing left.
Not a single girl in my city had a shaved head. I felt ecstatic.
When my parents came home, I pretented to cry and told them I had tried to
give myself a haircut but had messed it up so badly I could do nothing but
shave it off. My dad was deeply sympathetic. I think my mother knew I was lying,but she kept quiet."
