Well... No...

But, to comment on the hair... It was 1987 when that picture was taken, and spikey hair was no where nearly as common then as it is now. There were other things to be sure, but the hair and other similar aspects of my life made for a much greater splash in 1983-88/89 than they would have in this day and age. The comment "all that just because of the spikey hair" is rather similar to listening to a Beatles song in this day and age and saying "I don't get it, they hardly rock at all"

You have to remember, there was a day and time when getting on the cover of a rather widely distributed periodical was a pretty freaking big deal... Not so much today.

There was also a few Bands that I was in, or did work for, and several side businesses which I ran.

Edit: Oh! Yes, and I became well known in Dallas for decorating my city without the permission of the City Council. They all failed to see the beauty in my freeway beautification project... Something about the color of the dinosaurs.
