Barnes convinced a hair-stylist friend to start sweeping all of the hair clippings from the salon floor and save them in bags. The hair would be fastened to the ceiling of an unsuspecting venue, in the shadows of the rafters, just like a balloon drop. Maybe put a few flowers around the edges. And at the end of the show, after everyone in the audience has had plenty of time to look up into the ceiling and see what looks like a rain of flowers ready to descend on them, the lead singer would announce:

“Do you guys like flowers? Too bad, you get hair.”

Then someone yanks a hidden cord, and the hair tumbles down on the audience.

“We talked to our lawyer, and he gave us a cease-and-desist order,” Barnes says. “He said, ‘Under no circumstances do you drop hair on people. If you do, I don’t want the case.’
“There’s an awful lot of DNA involved,” Barnes admits. And yeah, he did reach into a bag of hair and decided: “Ohhhh, this is disgusting.”
