It’s not the 20 somethings who need to change… it’s the older generation. If they are not wise enough to see past his long hair to see his talent then someone else will. I wish I could hire him!

I agree that people need to be more open about who they hire and not prejudice themselves against good candidates just because of some of surface appearance issues.
My 17 year old son is one of those long haired kids (no tattoos) that I’m concerned won’t be able to find a job to support himself because his appearance will limit where he can apply.
Thanks for bringing the issue to people’s attention.
Michele

I completely agree that many of our long-held negative ‘common views’ are falling by the way side and it’s a good thing!

We will either succeed together as a nation or we’ll go the way of empires past… arrogance and ignorance will take us down.

I really appreciate your support. I did take a longer break than I intended. I even have posts written – I just get too busy to post them! I like your suggestion about YouTube. Did you know my daughter Jenna Marbles is the #4 most subscribed to YouTuber? So, I think I’ll stay away from that medium for now. Full disclosure — she uses unseemly language so if that offends… :)

I expect the good artists to be pierced and have body art.LOL But seriously I find out that is not always true. As an art collector I have met many artists and some of the finest dress conservatively. Sure, I played by John T. Moloy’s rules and it worked for me. However, does society have the right to enforce such rules? Good manners is one thing as polite language but the ones who get noticed, take risks, and some are rewarded for crossing barriers? As this century is shaping up many of the things we held sacred will fall and I hope I can be on the winning side. I think freedom helps move us forward. Thanks for posting again I was beginning to think that you were ending your helpful blog. Seriously consider using YouTube as I am considering that right now. I am soul searching to see if I can contribute good content that people want to see. I have viewed some of my practice material and I come across as arrogant. Nobody wants to watch that. So I have much work to do. IMHO You have a message more need to hear.

Of course you don’t need to get used to anything. You can treat people, co-workers and employees any way you choose.

Put them on your body where no one can see them if you’re wearing clothes. Have you ever seen what a 45-year-old tattoo looks like on a 65-year-old man? GROSS.
