The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men

17-year-old David Bowie (then David Jones) formed The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men in 1964...



“I think we’re all fairly tolerant,” says David, “but for the last two years we’ve had comments like ‘Darling!’ and ‘Can I carry your handbag?’ thrown at us, and I think it just has to stop now.”

  1. hate to admit that i have a clear memory of my father hysterical at the sight of bowie on television. it may have been SNL. it's nice that my father was wrong & bowie was right.
