love and theft

I propose an axiom: the only white guy who can rock a mustache and not look like a douchebag is Bob Dylan. Discuss.

he pulls off a few looks that other people would have trouble with

No more long, flowing beard? I would need to see a photo of your mustache to judge how douchey you look, but I believe that the odds are not in your favor.

I look amazing in a mustache.

The only problem with your statement is that Dylan is sort of a douchebag. A talented, genius douchebag and I am a diehard fan. But he is still sort of a douchebag.

[yanatonage]

You know, maybe you are right. Perhaps douchebag was not the right word to use. Although--while I remember him being a douchebag in "Don't Look Back", I'm not sure I have any evidence that Dylan as an old man is still a dick. Maybe a sense of mortality has humbled him? I don't know.

ditto. seriously this is exactly what I was going to say. Dylan's style seems almost like an accident, given that he tries so hard to be a jerk.

dylan's moustache works really really well. i think being over fifty helps in the moustache department. though i agree with the overall sentiment wholeheartedly. i was at an art opening last night and there was one of those hipster dudes with a big curly moustache, and it got me thinking about how that style has been lurking around for about five years now, and it isn't getting any less whack.

Re: wrong

1. Is that a moustache or a beard?

2. Not only does he look like a douchebag, he looks like he has three douchebags chained to his wall at home, whose blood he sucks daily to replenish his douchebag powers.
