Jewfro

For those of you who logged on to my blog earlier today and noticed the title change (to 'enter the jewfro') I thought I would give an explanation.

My friend Eric (who, like me, is Jewish) was trying to be funny, creating a title that referred to a particular kind of hairstyle while simultaneously referring to the Bruce Lee movie 'Enter the Dragon'. I'm sure Eric knows all too well about Jewfros.

If you have never seen a 'Jewfro', you have missed out on a truly amazing thing. A Jewfro is essentially a Jewish Afro, most famously sported by musician Bob Dylan and actor Gabe Kaplan from the '70s TV series 'Welcome Back Kotter'.

I also have sported a Jewfro, but not since my mother was the one who determined when I got my hair cut.
