I would totally rock a beard if I could. Stupid man-made traditions.
You know what? I really don't get why we can't have a beard. My grampa was talking to me about the beard he used to have when he was in Spain. He really wanted to keep it, but "It's not fashionable in this part of the world."
So his argument, and the argument of anyone else is, "American society looks down on a beard." Since when is using "worldly" society a viable excuse??? American society loves Christmas! American society loves going to universities, and planning for the future!! What a lame cop out.
As for beard length, no way would I want ZZ Top length. That's only for wise old men.
