Seeing all these baby-faces, one must ask…


Does the man make his beard, or does the beard make the man?

Well the wife won't let me do a moustache

My beard is maybe a 6 out of 10.

My moustache would make sam elliot slide off his chair.

I always found it interesting that Frank Beard of ZZ Top only had a mustache.

I’m lucky to have a 9/10 beard. The good lord has blessed me there yet forgot everything else in the build out.

The Geico Caveman was on point with his full body beard.

I had a beard for the majority of 1980 through 2005.

Once the salt overwhelmed the pepper, I am now daily clean shaven.

That’s my personal preference, the only generality I’ll posit is that a grey beard works for a lower percentage of the male population than does a not grey beard.

We had no chance to recognize them. You listed who each picture was.

Stapelton looks a little Jeffrey Dahmerish.

My football coach in 5th and 6th grade was the drummer for ZZ Top when they were in high school. After graduation, the guys wanted to keep on playing, but my coach decided to go to college.

About a year after playing for him, I saw Billy Gibbons on the Galveston ferry. While getting an autograph and a picture, I asked him about my coach and he confirmed that he was their original drummer.

Coach Dave said he had back stage passes to any concert he wanted to attend.

Willie Nelson:



I'm old enough to remember Willie Nelson as the clean-cut preppy looking singer/songwriter from the late 50's into the 60's. Too bad he's not holding "Trigger" in that photo.


When I think of Willie Nelson, I don't envision an electric guitar.

I remember Jase and Willie Robertson before the beards. I used to work at a golf course in Monroe back in the early 90’s and once a week in the afternoons during the Summer we would have a herd of mostly NLU guys come out to play. It was all money games so it was usually a diverse group of dudes. One of our counter guys knew Jase so he and Willie would come out some and my dad had a friend that was tight with Phil and we had hunted with Phil before so I actually had a connection with them from that. Plus you could actually drive out to Phil’s place back then and talk Jesus, duck hunting, or fishing. This was way before any of them sniffed the success they have now.

We (me, Jase, Willie, Al, and others) played at Chennault just about every week in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. We walked because the cart was too expensive.
