Billy Ray Cyrus is a true American gem. They don't quite make hair like that anymore, and we sure miss it. Did you catch its glory at the CMT Awards last night? Did ya? Did ya? If you didn't, you haven't missed out. He'll be rocking a similar do on his upcoming CMT show, Still the King. Still the king, indeed! You tell 'em, Billy Ray.

Looks like he did tell us in a new video he released today via Mashable. Titled, "Billy Ray Cyrus Wants to Bring Back the Mullet, Miley's famous papa campaigns for the return of the '80s/'90s staple. How many years have you been waiting to tell your hair stylist those magic words, "a little off the top, and nothing else?!" Now you can, thanks to Mr. Cyrus and his pro-hair crusade. We'll leave you with this emotional gem, in which he reflects on the photo above.

"Take a look at this Kentucky waterfall I used to have. Look at the way it begins at my forehead. Slow, moving, peaceful, and then majestically cascades down my neck and shoulders. You could ride a kayak down that hair. A family of four could white water raft down that hair and make memories for a lifetime." Hot. Damn. We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Are you all convinced now? Are we running to our salons and barber shops to make this happen again? Who's with us!?
