On Friday night, singer Richard Marx shared that #FlashbackFriday photo. Whatever you do, don’t bring up the dreaded M-word … unless you want hilarity to ensue.
More than a few of you need to Google the actual definition of "mullet."

Stick around. Marx’s tweets about John Stamos are pretty giggle-inducing, too.
"@Vegan_BMX_Metal we do…. You're picture or name always pops up." OK, so then now Google the difference between"your" and "you're."

Mullet School is now in session. You see, Marx’s hair was a “BIG party in the front and BIG party in the back.”
Don't get me wrong. My hair in '88-89 was a tragedy for the ages. But it was BIG party in the front and BIG party in the back. #notamullet

It is not lost on me that well over 75% of guys who come up and give me shit about my old hair…are bald.

"@MaryfkaCrazy Billy Ray Cyrus had the mullet you simply had 80's hair." Mary…you just went to #1 on the "Yes!!!" list.

Marx tweeted with his followers about the finer points of the mullet.

@ArranNZ This is what I'm saying….

@richardmarx did you use soul glo?
— M (@Rourke_Chop) June 22, 2013
@Rourke_Chop No, but I do use "Super Glue" to keep my hairpiece on straight.

Perfect:
RT"@Getter404 41s @kumailn Does it still count as a mullet if it's merely a subdued get-together in the back?" HAHAHA!!! #proudofyou

@melvinNC They wish they had my current hair. They wish they had…hair.

One Twitter user was inspired to share a pic of his mullet with Marx.

The verdict?
@Vegan_BMX_Metal Shawn, even THAT is borderline. Not a slam dunk mullet. But it IS hands down f**king horrific. I should know.

Marx also retweeted this:
Everyone gives @richardmarx guff about his hair back in the day, but no one ever remembers this: pic.twitter.com/BuizEuLJKd

Heh.
But what’s this? A mullet admission from 2012?

Then again …
Not being defensive but somewhere along the way many of you have forgotten exactly what a real mullet looks like, so: pic.twitter.com/pgXZ74lC
