Honestly...there is something about Mullets (the hair style, not the fish) that cause a REALLY strong reaction in me. The mere sight of one (even on an old TV show) anger me. There is no rhyme or reason, they just...just...ARggggghhhh. I don't know.
I REALLY LOATHE THEM! And, yes I realize this is unreasonable and probably some category of prejudice that defies definition.
Reminds me of my friend Michelle, an amazing photographer who grew up in Detroit. I witnessed a similar angry attitude from her one time on the mean streets of Mo-town, when an Chevy El Camino drove by. She shouted at the car (not the driver, mind you), "ARE YOU A TRUCK OR A CAR!!??! MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!" Actually the language was much more colorful... she apparently HATES El Caminos. Though, I have to agree that they are an aberration of the car design world (...God, please don't let that car have been designed by a fellow Art Center alumnus).
I found it funny (and charmingly quirky) of her. But now I realize that an El Camino car is to the car world what a Mullet is to the hair-do world. And I understand her reaction with a new perspective. It just gets my blood boiling OVER when when a proud current (or past) Mullet-wearer also quotes their Mullet hair-do creed: "Business in the front, Party in the back!"
Below is an entire family of Mullets (these are more party in the front AND the back)....where are my scissors or better, electric razor?
Of course, in honor of Michelle...here is her El Camino car/truck.
Don't Mullets and El Caminos just LOOK like they somehow belong together?
