Cringe is the most trustworthy emotion to measure how far we've come from a point of immaturity or ignorance. If Dev here feels such copious amounts of cringe at the pictures of his youth, it's because he certainly have come a long way. And we're all glad for that path :D

Mate, I went to see you in Melbourne, Australia with SYL many years ago and one of my amusing memories was when you said: "What do you mean I'm not metal, I've got the hair!" as you flicked the long sides and remaining remnants of what was once a glorious mane of heavy metal hair I'm sure.

I loved your skullet years. Absolutely outstanding. Reminded me of the predator. Mostly, my hair followed the same trajectory! hahahaha. I could show almost exactly the same photos. Man, the 80's were wild...haha. For my grad photo, I was in a salon at the same time as the band "Harem Scarem",(which happened to be playing in my town, that day) as my mom wanted me to have long hair but with "bangs"....the band all had long hair and bangs - but were way cooler than me - so they helped my mom....I was broken. hahahahahaha. I shaved my head bald for 20 years after that. Luckily, I still have a full head of hair, if I need it !
