devendra banhart as an awesome beard.
also, sam beam aka iron and wine
Will Oldham!
you have not seen beard of Master N. Servant! very lush
I'm glad Doug was in there. But where was Tim Harrington?! or Tim Kasher?!
Ahh well.
Iron and Wine! Hello???
fuckin Sam Beam!
all i have to say is that i have two people that should have been in the top 5
Everyone go search google for the bassist of Circa Survive.
and THE NUMBER 1 BEARD EVER (it is literally world famous and has an award for "Best Beard") is Jack Passion. go search it.
(there is a picture of him next to ZZ top and ZZtops beard looks like pubes compared.)
