musicNEWS:  Mullets will Rock Again This Spring.

antiMUSIC’s very own Greenmuse predicted just a few short days ago, “…the mullet will make a comeback in 2003. Never since the 70s will it be so rampant. Men women and children will all have them. Gone will be the days when the mullet family spotting is a rare treat. It will become such a trend that the non mullets will now be the subject of numerous crazy people poking fun at them, perhaps one guy might even make a career out of talking about non mullets by writing lots of silly articles about non-mullets. The Mullet is coming back, and there is crap all you can do about it!”

It now appears that the Green one may have been right or at least read the minds of some executives at Epic/Legacy. 

On March 4th, Epic/Legacy will release a two-CD set called “Mullet Rock”. The tagline they are using for the CD is simple, "Play it loud, wear it proud.” 

The 35-song collection will feature rock anthems from the 70’s and 80’s when Mullet’s reigned supreme. 

The humorous liner notes are said to point out that, "It's not just a hairstyle, it's a lifestyle." The liner notes go on to name some of the highest profile musical mullets of the past including Journey's Steve Perry, Loverboy’s Mike Reno, and REO Speedwagon's Kevin Cronin. Curiously absent from the collection is material from one of the best selling groups that sported a frontman with a Mullet during their heyday, the one and only Def Leppard. 

Despite the absence of “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” the two disc set does contain some of the best known rock anthems from the 70’s and 80’s, including Mountain’s “Mississippi Queen,” Deep Purple’s “Smoke on Water,” Foreigner’s “Hot Blooded,” and Foghat’s “Slow Ride”. That’s just the first four songs! 

So get your Flowbee’s ® ready for the triumphant return of the Mullet!
