Seems Graham has a bit of a similarity in his hairstyle with former President Lyndon Johnson.



Its interesting to see, by the way, as Lyndon Johnson was the President whom the Hippies had most hated and opposed. The Hippies, as you know, grew their hair long as sign of social rebellion. After leaving office, Johnson grew his hair long as well--Very interesting, because very few men of his age group (He was born in 1908) would ever think of growing their hair long--It wasn't seen as masculine. While his hair isn't very very long, for 1972 (when the photo was taken), it was very long. Consider that the Beatles' mop tops--which are considered short by today's society--were considered unusually and weirdly long when they first appeared on scene. So in 1960s, 1970s America, chin or shoulder length hair on a man was a very big statement.
