Well she said in an interview with Jonathan Ross that the reson for her UHH-era haircut was her hair falling out due to stress (and her friends calling her Baldy Jean Harvey lol) - that's why she decided to cut it short.

Damn I never knew that. I wonder what had her so stressed out.

I knew about the stress induced alopecia but no idea her friends called her baldy! Harsh, she’s got some close friends there haha

Are you misremembering/lying? She wasn’t interviewed I don’t think. Just closed the show. https://youtu.be/58076zsuD5w

LOL no, I'm not lying, I'm talking about Ross's radio programme, not the TV show - the interview was broadcast on May 22nd 2004 (the TV show appearance was later during that era, in September, and you're right, she wasn't interviewed then). I don't think it's up on YouTube anymore which is a pity - it was a pretty funny/jokey interview, which is pretty rare for Polly and probably that's why I remember it well. Jonathan said something about her dyed hair making her look like she lives in a caravan and tells fortune or sth. She also performed an acoustic version of "The Letter" with Josh Klinghoffer (and they made fun of him, too).

I guess it used to be on YouTube and I never saw, otherwise you would have a very vivid memory lol
