Hollywood Hotline
November 29, 1969
The Telegraph Journal and Evening Times-Globe
Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada

And in the Who Are You Going To Believe Department: The Cowsills business advisors advised me their young charges would be growing their hair longer, to have more appeal to teenyboppers who dug the hippie look. I advised my readers around the country of such.

The result? My, what a reaction! In Philadephia, where the Hotline appears in the Bulletin, a woman threatened that Cowsills fans would storm that newspaper ofice.

Cowsills boosters, she made it clear, like the Boys just the way they are now. Besides, said she, she had spoken to the fellows during their personal appearance in that city, and they assureed her they had no intention of going the long-haired route.

It will be interesting to see who wins this battle-of-the-bob dispute when the boys get back together again with the advisors who are in charge of guiding their careers.

At least it's a switch. Usually it's the younger generation screaming for long-haired freedom, and the Establishment age group demanding that locks be shorn.
