The look on Sam Beam’s face would have you believe that he does not care what you think about his beard. This, however, is a carefully crafted facade. He is deeply invested, emotionally and metaphysically, in what you think of his beard. Disparagement of his beard would cause a substantial piece of his sould to die. So how, you might ask, can he stare at me from the interweb with such bravado? His secret is that he KNOWS you both adore and respect his beard. He is well aware that you could not deny a force as powerful and silky as his beard, even if for some unthinkable reason you wanted to. He sleeps soundly each night, his brow unlined and his dreams unencumbered.
Also, he writes good songs.
