Jones stands contradicted by a sideburn wearer."There are two reasons why I wear sideburns. Thefirst is that I wanted to be like Luke Perry andJason Priestley." said Harvard sophomore JeremyBarnum, as he watched the gang of West Beverly."Mine are more like Luke's. Jason's are kind offlared at the ends."
Barnum added that he also wears 'burns tocompensate for his receding hairline.
Jones also claims that Perry and Priestley woresideburns of their own free will before they everbecame this year's version of the New Kids On TheBlock.
Perry's sideburned look has led to comparisonswith James Dean. Jones says that this, too, iscoincidence. "Luke tries harder than anyone todifferentiate himself from James Dean. He hatesthe constant comparisons."
Sure. Being compared to a legendary sex symbolcould really hurt an actor's career.
The whole alleged 90's sideburn phenomenon canbe compared to Perry--a weak imitation of theoriginal. Like bell-bottoms and acid-washed jeans,sideburns will probably soon be nothing more thana distant fashion memory.
The question is, for how long? 2010 is justaround the corner...
spends his childhood dismembering local animalsand pets and propping their heads on stakes in hisbackyard? Is everyone sexually molested at eightby a neighbor? Okay, so it's fairly normal to pickup men, drug them, and bind their naked bodies, asDahmer did to several people before his anticsturned murderous.
One side effect of the trial's opening is allthe characters who are coming out of the woodworkwith interesting testimonials about theirexperiences in the Dahmer household. One such taleappears in this week's Sun:
"My life has been a living hell of violentnausea and terrifying nightmares ever since theawful day I ate a strange sandwich given to me bythat maniac Jeffrey Dahmer."
The unnamed source continues with a descriptionof the sandwich:
"I figured I could run to McDonald's to grab abite at lunchtime. But Jeffrey stopped me andoffered to share one of his large 'meatloaf'sandwiches with me."
The current question is, what will happen toJeff Dahmer? We know, at least, that he won't beshot, for he'll spend the entire trial behind aneight-foot high bulletproof wall separating himfrom ogling spectators. In twenty years, let'sassume that he'll be in an insane asylum,prevented by a strait-jacket from munching his ownbody parts. In any case, we will have more or lessforgotten about J.D. and his merry apartment.
