Like most of the women

My real appreciation of Randy, however, started in November when he attended Theas's show at The Top O' The Senator. He's just luminous, and very shy. I didn't speak to him, except to slip past him to get up to the front of the room and tell him his hair looked great. And it does. He was always a good looking kid, but now he has a romantic quality about him that's just wonderful. |

In practical terms, Randy's hair accentuates his bone structure. In Mythic terms, it gives him a Stuart Sutcliff vibe. For those of you not old enough to know who Stu is, rent the movie Back Beat. You'll Love it. It's about the man who walked away from the Beatles to pursue his art and the love of his life, Astrid. He was also the first with the "Beatle cut", thanks to Astrid, and it looked very much like Randy's hair does now. The parallels between Stu and Justin - artists leaving a glamorous life for true love- can't have escaped CowLip. As with Stu, Justin's new love will be short lived. I believe it's Justin's "one brief, shining moment". The character of Justin is as good as it can get, and Randy is perfectly in tune with it. Justin will return to Brian a little wiser and a little more grounded. He'll have a new understanding of what really defines love. And he'll always have breakfast in bed - a red rose, dark chocolate, and a beautiful young man with a violin. |
Best of all, we'll have a new appreciation for a beautiful young man who's grown into himself and his craft right before our eyes. |
