Leon Russell is a man who knows the value of proper hair care. Does Leon deep-condition? Hell yeah, he deep-conditions. Does Leon blow-dry? Hell no, he don't blow-dry. Would Leon be caught within 100 yards of a synthetic bristle brush? Shit no! He heat-masks, he seaweed-wraps, he trims split ends with teensy scissors. He never succumbs to fads of crimping, straightening or the devil's own invention: the home permanent. And that's why, boys and girls, Leon can toss that dreamy silver mane with P-R-I-D-E. We'd like to think a hair-care tip or two might be shared during a live show. Maybe tucked between "Delta Lady" and "A Song for You," or even during the obligatory "Hello Kansas City ... you're, uh, the best crowd ever," crap. But nooo. All that is going to happen when the renaissance man of classic rock brings his tent-revival-meets-honky-tonk hootenanny to KC is, the crowd will get knocked on its awestruck ass. We'll keep our hopes up for some hair-pulling.
