thanks Rowan, it's a shame the asker couldn't wait ten minutes to get others' opinions:)
agree Transflux (X) : yes Abigail I think this is right. It refers (I think) to the Beatles, although I'm wondering if their hair really was long enough to tie back then. But this is the meaning of "had it back" almost certainly
