I had fun this afternoon chatting and playing with Terry Bozzio and Mario Claire. We rocked for a couple hours. Afterwards, we sat and talked about technique and important life experiences. Terry said he was completely obsessed and distracted the entire jam session, and was dying to ask, “How do you get your hair to look so fantastic?” I explained how it comes from a secret Shaolin method I learned after years of intense study and devotional meditation at the temple in Dengfeng, in the Henan Province of China. The monastery is hidden in the forests of Shaoshi Mountain (one of the seven peaks of the Song Mountains). It is during The Jieba, the ancient ceremony of the nine marks, where master Fang Lu-Hao’s sacred words (and hair secret) is burned onto the head with sticks of incense. It looks like a simple Chinese symbol, and translated into English, it reads, “Wax on, wax off.”
