Daniel Bernard Roumain, the crossover violinist known for his fusion of classical, funk, and hip-hop, has sued Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Gustavo Dudamel, accusing him of violating the copyright he holds on having crazy hair.
“He used to have normal hair,” said an infuriated DBR during a phone interview, “but then I guess he saw me on CBS Evening News, and since then there has been a steady progression and escalation over time. It’s gotten to a point where I feel it’s necessary to take action.” Indeed, a quick glance at the chilling photo array below reveals that his accusations may be well-founded.
“It’s not just a look, man. It’s a lifestyle,” Roumain added. “I mean, you got to feel it! I play with Lady Gaga, he just conducts some orchestra in L.A.”
Dudamel has reportedly sought legal counsel from Kenny G, who has successfully fended off similar lawsuits from DBR in the past. In response to The Cereal List’s request for comment, Dudamel’s spokesperson writes:
Maestro Dudamel has the right, indeed the responsibility, to tend to his own hair free from anyone else’s stipulations. It happens that Maestro Dudamel is very fond of exotic hair products, his favorite being a combination of clay and algae shampoo. Wearing dreadlocks would go against almost everything he’s ever believed in.
In photo 1, Dudamel looks like Paul Rudd with Seth Rogen’s hair. It also appears that as his hair grows, his demeanor goes from tranquilo to intensivo. He should go back to the short ‘do and be merry.
If anything, SImon Rattle should be suing Dudamel for hair infringement. And Roumain should be sued by André Rieu, both for infringing on both his a luscious head of hair and his cheesy electric-violin crossover act.
WOW, NICE GRAMMAR. Make that, “for infringing on both his luscious head of hair and his cheesy electric-violin crossover act.”
Dan, thank you for correcting yourself. I was going to suggest to this website that they eliminate your comment for bad grammar, but I see that is no longer necessary.
