Bob's bad hair day
Permalink  
 

As retold by Tina on FB

 This is the only time you will see Bob playing with hair extensions (yes hair extensions!!!) Here is what happened, please excuse the expetives but they are important to the story. Bob has just finished making a French film called "Mauvai...se Fille" (Bad Girl) in which he plays the father of the girl. They are using 2 tracks from the new album (Dazzled By You and Silly Pretty Thing). On the first day of filming Bob had his normal hair, but had to leave the next day to go to the Middle East and then Australia to gig. 48 hours later Bob was back in London, and somewhat jetlagged. It was a really hot day and he was in dire need of some pampering so took himself off to have a nice refreshing hair wash and trim - and promptly fell asleep during the process.  When he woke the hairdresser had cut the lot off (Bob's description of this bit was a bit more colourful than I describe it).
When Bob turned up for more filming in France the Director went "ape ****" and insisted that he had to have hair e...xtension put in to try to make his hair look as it had on filming day one. Bob says 'It was horrible, stuck on with strips of glue and it couldnt be brushed or the 'f*****g things fell out. I woke up in the morning looking like Andy Warhol after an electric shock.'
Then he had to do the gig in Paris, and when Bob got a bit warm and started sweating the extension bits started falling down and the audience thought his head was melting. In this way and only this way was the Paris gig unique.

It is quite obvious there are bts falling out at the gighttp://www.youtube.com/user/bobgeldof?ob=5#p/c/5C92B6B4C01154E2/1/Q6HE90mJ0l8

When did Geldof last have a good hair day?   Last time it looked alright was back in 1978.   Since then it has normally looked like hobo chic.  Amazed a hairdresser cuts his hair, I thought it was his gardener with a pair of shears.

 Edward Scissorhands might have made a good job of it!  Bob had cropped hair for his role in The Wall.

I have never had a good hair day. Can't do a thing with it. Look at it. This way and that
Pile it up? Spray it on? Grease it straight back?

hair extensions must be really annoying.

ah my fave song by bob is playing.

anyway as we're having a discussion about hair i will tell you about mine:

my hair has no same direction bits stick out here and there and everywhere, its not sort of uniform all over (if thats right word for it) its really annoying so i use hair straightners on it quite often, not ideal but better than strange hair.

mind you hairdressers dont help...... completely useless ALL hairdressers!
