Contradiction with album wiki info[edit]
Deja Vu page lists several songs on which Young sang and played, not just two as this page suggests. GenacGenac (talk) 04:31, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
"Credited with popularizing the idea of long hair"[edit]
I know the source says something along these lines but that's not so given that the trend more or less began with the Beatles and the counter-culture that adopted the fashion, shortly thereafter.
Actually, the source doesn't say "idea"; it says "metaphor" which means symbol and is different. It doesn't take much to find sources that give a more accurate story, such as the paper above. Here's another: The High School Hair Wars of the 1960s. Then there's the 1967 musical, which would indicate how pervasive long hair had become well before Woodstock and "Almost Cut My Hair".
None of which should take anything away from the song, just the fact that one source does not a story make. Allreet (talk) 12:08, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
