The road is fucking hard. It’s also really fucking tough.
In the pantheon of rock and roll, there are few if any artists out there who are as intimidating for manifold reasons as Queens Of The Stone Age front man Josh Homme. A mountain of a man who occasionally dons a ginger (these days with a fair amount of salt mixed in) beard, Homme’s brazen personality is backed up fully by the music he puts out.

In the past decade or, it seems that if there is some manner of science fiction/fantasy/comic book adaptation for film, there has been one man it’s been imperative to cast. And it is with that kiwi actor Karl Urban is presented.
With The Office at long last bidding farewell last night, its natural successor to the NBC Comedy Throne (such as it is these days) figures to be Parks and Recreation, both in tone and in its bloodlines. And though one of the stars of Parks & Rec, Nick Offerman, is immaculately mustachioed on the show, away from it he sports as rugged a full beard as one could imagine. And with both Paul MacLean and Joel Quenneville earning Jack Adams nominations today, this seems like the best way to pay tribute to both of their dusters as well as our daily beard requirements.
There are few artists with as diverse of a collection of works as Chicago’s Shel Silverstein. From childrens’ books, to poetry, to songwriting, to stage productions, to illustrations for Playboy comics in the magazine’s hayday, the perpetually bearded Silverstein left behind a prolific resume at the time of his death in 1999.
In the realm of modern rock, few if any artists live up to their name as well as Matthew Sweet, being one of the principal purveyors of power pop for the better part of 25 years.
As we await the Hawks’ second round opponent on this Sunday, we’d like to take the opportunity to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there. And in doing so, I present to Chicagoan William Petersen, best known as the salt-and-pepper bearded medical examiner Gil Grissom on CSI, and a personal favorite of both my mother and grandmother.
Happy Mother’s Day from The Committed Indian.
