Public Dreadlock Cutting, Madison Wisconsin

[TheKadeem15]

I am calling the police!

[RigoKellerColas]

Yeah, art paul is a douche. I make short films and we had him play a small walk on roll out in the school forest with a bunch of other people. We picked him up, we fed him.

When we were finally done making the film we contacted him to let him know its done and he can see it on the internet but he actually didn't remember us or being in our film.

Not only are you an attention-starved sycophant who has nothing better to do than maintain a ridiculous hairstyle for 6 years then coerce passers-by into cutting it off piece by piece in an ill-fated dumbass college student attempt at whimsy, but you actually know exactly how many dreadlocks you have. Proof of your vanity and selfishness. You are a total and complete fucktard.

[RyanDaniels]

@benbot75 what he said

[Levelistchampion]

@benbot75 You don't know what "sycophant" means even though your browser spell checked it. The same goes for "coerce". See, the magic of video editing allows me to skip the dozens of people who pretended not to see me or outright refused. One does not need to be in college to be "whimsical" but your ignorance of my circumstances may let you get away with using that word wrong, too. As for the number of dreadlocks--I counted them for the first time that morning. Cheers.

[FlyinRaptorJesus]

dude i watched you doing this =p i was going tot knuckle heads.

lol at the bum that didnt know why he should cut you hair. haha

[Igo4535]

Dude ur a big inspiration to me. I have had my dreads for a while now but i started them for cultural reasons. Now I just really dont want them, watchin this video gave me the courage to cut mine. Thanx

[terre178]

cool et courageux

[Levelistchampion]

merci beaucoup pour le critique! (dictated by girlfriend but not read)

[blaze1385]

i really want to cut mine but ive had them my whole life......

[IHAVEAGECKO]

im thinking of cutting my dreads off, and i mean reallllly thinking.

mainly of reasons you have yourself, bathing sleeping sweating weight and the obnoxious length they are.

im just really fucking scared. i seriously have nightmares every now and then where i cut it, and wake up in panic attacks grabbing for my hair.

if you could reply to me in a message so i could talk about it with you, that would be extremely appreciated.

from one to another, you know?

[spambotFTW21]

soo... umm.... was the guy with the guitar wasted or just "touched"?? lmao and respect .... although i don't know if i'll ever be able to cut my locks... they're definitely a part of me now...

[Levelistchampion]

That's Art Paul Schlosser, the legendary Madison busker. He's very self promoting (check myspace, YouTube, etc) and even posted links of this on his own homepages even though, I think, my frustration at his idiocy is clear. He's not drunk. It's not an act. He's just...that way. All the time.

[bekisutattoo]

@Levelistchampion I can attest to that, every time I see him he sings about peanut butter sandwiches.

[LighterB]

Well said... some people will do anything for attention.

[Levelistchampion]

I'm actually reserved with friends and gregarious with new people but deal with strangers as little as possible; my heart was beating like a drum and I was walking on a cloud from the endorphin high the entire shoot.

[MissingOneItem]

no follow ups on your hairdo now? hehe

[RAWR8ADAMS]

lol thats soooo funny.....awsome video

[rea17han14]

Gah Haha I love this video.

I think you looked good with both shaved and dreads dont listen to thoe poeple lol

this is too cool lol

[DarkRaiTuber]

I Like His Hair when everyone stopped cutting it.. but didnt like it when he shaved the whole thing

this video should be on the front page

and should have like millions of views seriously

im in love with this video.

[Levelistchampion]

I shaved it so I could get it a consistent length and rid myself of all those little clipped hair particles--I keep it longer now.

[saraschilds]

I have dreads, and I don't think I could ever do this.

[nicdaslick]

ignore these people. We have our personal choices. For me, dreadlocks is a spiritual choice, not a fad. As such, my soul still hurts from cutting them the first time and now that I am regrowing them although I am thinking of cutting them again, I keep the past trauma in mind. However, the past cut, and if it happens, this cut will be for spiritual reasons.My point, you had your reasons, I understand and respect them. Plus, it was entertaining and you look great before and after. Do you.

[hollis360]

Nope.  It's been five months now and I have approximately zero regrets...

[chaucer555]

That was incredibly...and what a handsome guy you are...charming, too.

[annanym1]

By the way, Kerry watched it as well, and we marveled at how adorable you are. I know you always wanted to be a hat guy, so congrats on that.

[annanym1]

This is the best thing I have ever seen. Alex, you are the rockin'est.

[stacynguyen53]

I can see why you were so anxious to get this video up, you guys put some production effort in, didn't ya? ; )

[thebeigeone]
