I made two magnificent discoveries yesterday. 1) Reruns of the greatest television show of our generation, Average Joe: Hawaii (the one with David Daskal and Fabio), are now playing on the Fox Reality Channel. 2) Sting is now bearded.
I uncovered Sting’s beard at the Obama Inauguration Bash, and it shocked me. I know Sting has had a beard before, but this time it’s different. It’s not one of those blondish, well-manicured, Peter Horton in Side Out half-beards that were used in the late 80′s/early 90′s to lure unsuspecting jazzercise instructors into the backseat of your t-top Camaro. Oh no, Sting is rocking a full-on, untamed indie hipster beard.
I ask you, is this the first official sign that beards are reaching the end of their product lifecycle? Are indie hipster beards going the way of the Cornrow, the JewFro, and the Faux Hawk?‚ One can only speculate, but when Sting has time to set down the lute and grow a beard, it’s probably not a good sign.
