Not on the topic of music, but were you aware that your name was used for the cleanup batter on the Montreal Expos in Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball?

Apparently the makers of the game didn't get the rights to use professional baseball player names, so they used yours, Peter Hook's, Bernard Sumner's and Ian Brown's to name a few.

Just another kicking fact about an awesome musician!

I also have allopecia, and from what I can tell a lot of people's experiences are different.

• I first lost a similar-sized patch as yours when I was 15, but it grew back over the course of about a year.
• About 5 years later I then lost hair all over my head in what they called diffuse allopecia arreata. That actually grew back too in the same time frame.
• Then about 2 years later I lost a huge patch on the crown of my head (I looked like Friar Tuck and it was hilarious). At the same time, I started losing arm, leg and eyebrow hair. At that point I started shaving my head regularly.

My hair actually grows thick in the few spots on my head where it still grows. I have teeny wispy patches of hair on my arms, my legs are hairless and my eyebrows go back and forth between thinning out and growing back to a thin level.

The only thing I miss are eyebrows which are very handy for keeping sweat out of your eyes.
