The haircut -- correction
Two factual inaccuracies appeared in the previous post, Finding Neverland -- My Quest for the Bygone Haircut.
Oscar Madison's hair, described as "thick, straight hair," is actually thick and thinning at the same time. While the strands are on the thick side, the denisty of hairs per square inch of scalp has been steadily declining over the past several years.
The age of "Tom the Barber" has been given ever-higher estimates in successive posts: "mid fifties," "early sixties" and most recently "late 60s." He cannot have aged more than 10 years since the original post last November. The increased perception of age may be a function of increasing exasperation with him over the haircut.
The Columnist Manifesto regrets the errors.

UPDATE: I'm getting a little traffic spike today. Why? Because my haircut post was linked by a Johnny Depp fan blog!
By the way, I defy you to make a cutesy new word -- like "blawg" or "fanzine" -- to convey "fan blog." Blofang? Nuh-uh.

fagzine? No too un-PC.
Isn't "fanzine" already a cutsey not-terribly-new word?
blogzine? Meh.
I remember getting a lot of hits on my website after reviewing a cult TV show.
Are you going to be blogging about other "personalities" to get more traffic?

is it too simple to call a fan blog a "flog"?
