Which is Worse: Wearing Hats or Dyeing Graying Hair?

I think I have a pretty good idea how many BB's fans feel about Mike Love always wearing hats to cover up his chrome dome; these days, it seems Bruce Johnston usually has a cap on, too, in solidarity with Mike, even though he's got a good head of orange colored hair. Which leads me to the question: which you dislike more? Bald guys hiding their lack of hair by wearing a baseball cap, beret, or other fashion accessory? Or gray haired guys like Paul McCartney getting a dye job?
And some lucky fellas (ahem) get to experience both - hair falling out, and what's left going gray... maybe i'll just wear this hat
or buy this wig

The last pic that I saw of Bruce without a hat, he looked to have had a balding crown. That may be why he started wearing a hat.

I've noticed that David Marks tends to wear a ball cap onstage too.
I'm in favor of going gray gracefully.
Although quite frankly, I'd ignore any fashion phopa for quality music.
IMO, the last really solid Sir Paul album was when he proud sported gray hair (1997's Flaming Pie).
Mike had an least one really solid album under his belt with a ball cap (2012's TWGMTR).

I thought Paul looked quite distinguished with that gray hair, but apparently someone told him "it's a drag, a well known drag".

Wearing a wig is the worst!

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Maybe one Jenny Mills didn't want to be seen with a bloke with gray hair.

I'm bald, and my beard is going gray...

I think when people are Paul McCartney's age they tend to look better with gray hair. When your skin has aged to a certain point, colored hair sort of clashes with it.

Yep, that's why I though when I first saw Paul with his brown hair at the Concert for NY in 2001, it was very jarring.

Had to laugh when seeing the title of this thread.
I'm seriously considering whether to continue to dye my hair or let it go. One advantage of the latter - people see the present grayer haired me and take pity, gotta help that poor old lady LOL. Didn't give me the time of day dyed as a brunette.
All the ladies of my family have thinning hair, not going bald but very self conscious of it. Have begun debating whether I should start wearing a hat when going out.
Have been so jealous of Brian's hair

I agree. Gray is not bad at all, although Ringo also colors his hair and beard, and it looks alright - but he keeps it trimmed very close these days.

Grey and bald are fine;
Comb-overs, toupees, and badly dyed hair are out.
Donald Trump's stylist should either be sacked (for bad taste) or given a comedy award (for great taste!).

I say try to keep it natural. Keep your body in good shape, get some sun and don't worry about your hair...and don't cover it with hats.
The Mike-hat thing was a mistake since day one, he would be more respected if he just went chrome dome and kept quiet.

Hats are okay if you need to keep the sun off the exposed bonce.

Mike Love looked cool circa 1970-71 when he often went hatless. His remaining wisps of hair were smartly combed back.
I thought felt much the same about gray hair-until mine started to turn a few years ago. Beats going bald, sure.

I have to do that - I have very, very pale skin, thus very susceptible to skin cancer. That doesn't just mean covering up my head - but arms and everything else, too.
