I remember the ballyhoo when photos of Elvis Presley were released showing him at a military base getting his head scalped by a U.S. Army barber. The girls cried and swooned, the guys were glad to see their rival taken down a notch. For me, the sad thing is that today such “scalping” is a daily occurrence in so-called barber shops all across Texas. Some of the fondest memories of my childhood include going to the barber shop with my dad.
