Long hair can look gawjuss on a guy....as per siavash, clean glossy and with a bit of body to it.....not on Marcus, it just looks like a permanent Davy Crockett hat with the dead tail hanging down the back.....it is unflattering to him.
Now we know he does what he wants, but I think he is scared of change and would feel enormous relief if he ditched the ponytail and that awful beard thing that looks as tho he thinks it detracts from his jaw and over bite.....it actually makes them both look more prominent...
under all that ill advised hair is a nice looking bloke....drag him kicking and screaming into the correct decade and he'd be a happier bunny....he is clinging onto the past or the spirit of alvin stardust.His follicles imprison him...release the beast.
