I was born a redhead. As I grew older, my hair turned strawberry blonde. When I was about 14, I started using Clairol Nice N Easy Ultra Light Blonde hair dye. I wanted bright blonde hair. I'm 20 now, and I've been dyeing my hair this way for years. The red color at the top of my head will not go away, however. I have a beautiful bright blonde everywhere else. Any help?

This song makes me giggle! I love it!

I have my opinions, but I just want to know yours!

When I was little, there was a song I liked called Fruit Salad. I don't know who sang it, but it went like this, "fruit salad, yummy yummy!" It seems silly to me now, but I want to know who sang it.

I know The Beatles' music. It's not like I have never listened to them. The only song I actually like is "Hey Jude," and to me it's just okay. I believe that Elvis Presley had more influence on rock music than The Beatles and he was all-around more talented. But because I am a rock music fan, everyone expects me to like The Beatles, and I'm just not feeling it for them. They seem bland and forgettable. Why do people tell me I HAVE to like them? I just don't.

I find it difficult to bring music into conversation with other people because I meet a LOT of music snobs that will make fun of my music and tell me that is sucks. I would rather have a good relationship with people than argue about music. Why is it so hard to find someone that doesn't judge your music taste and pretend like theirs is far superior?

I have asked similar questions, but this question is really important. People hate 1980's hair bands for no good reason. They say it is "sappy pop crap." These people may list bands such as The Beatles as favorites. NEWS FLASH: The Beatles were as pop as it got back in the day. The same people may be fans of Michael Jackson. He isn't called the king of POP for no reason. They may also be fans of "SERIOUS METAL BANDS" like Metallica and Iron Maiden, but even those bands were popular with the public and churned out very mainstream metal. They may be fans of grunge, like Nirvana, but Nirvana was conformist too. And they like classical, but classical music was all about rules and conforming to the rules of music. These people seem to like every single genre of music, but skip over hair metal because it is "cheesy" and "sappy." I have one question: How is it any worse than YOUR music?

It's my all time FAVORITE TV SHOW! I watch it with my grandma and we squeal and jump around when something shocking happens. Anyone else a fan?

Most people absolutely go crazy with insults and hatred regarding my music taste. There is really nothing bad about it. It's just not popular with anyone at all (Except for some creepy middle-aged guys and a few women). Is it that bad? I will give examples of the type of music I am into:

Bang Tango

Skid Row

Britny Fox

Whitesnake

Cinderella

White Lion

Poison

Slaughter

L.A. Guns

Dokken

Motley Crue

Ratt

Warrant

Winger

Twisted Sister

Dangerous Toys

Pretty Boy Floyd

Faster Pussycat

Ugly Kid Joe

Great White

Roxx Gang

Dangerous Toys

It's my favorite genre of music. I love the way it sounds. I collect records, CDs, and cassettes of hair metal bands and have hundreds. My typical look is bleached blonde poofy hair with a zebra bandana, tight acid wash jeans or cutoffs, cowboy boots, and a bright oversized shirt. I have dreams where I meet Mark Slaughter (Slaughter) or that Jani Lane (Warrant) comes back from the dead. I am a total hair metal freak. It's the only thing that gets me through the day. I hate it when traditional metal fans tell me that it's just mainstream crap. These songs and bands mean something deep to me. I have seen Skid Row live and it literally made me cry because I loved the music so much. What is everyone else's problem with hair metal?

I'm 19 years old, student at the community college where I live (currently out for the summer), and was working as a work study because that was all I could find and now I'm struggling to find employment. I want to move out desperately but I am loyal to my family also. I feel torn. I'm not allowed to go anywhere during the day and my mother has to know where I am constantly. She HATES my significant other because he has a shady family and background, but he really someone important to me. If I'm with him I get about 20 calls asking where I'm at and what I'm doing. My curfew is before 8 PM. This really sucks and I want to become independent. The thing is, I can't find employment and I can't stick this out until then. It is making me suicidal. I feel so cut off from the things that I enjoy. Please help me.
