New Beard just arrived on the doorstep
Posted by Fraser M on 10 November 2008 - 10:44am.
Bit of a left-field choice, chaps - wouldn't have guessed it.
At a distance, I thought it was a mid-70s Billy Connolly!

Go on...
give us another clue...
Robert Plant?
Robert Plant?
Is it
Catweazle?
The drummer from
ZZ Top?
That prat with the purple beard
who was helping out with the Rock Camp thingy that Rob Fitzpatrick went on?
Roy Wood
Go on!
It's...
...somebody I've never seen bearded before.
Haha I've just seen it
...who'da thunk it. Still, it's a pretty beardmungous issue all told.
It's..
It's Annie Lennox, isn't it?
Is it the guv'nor
Rolf Harris?
It's Bom Iver
with an 'Album Of The Year' caption just below the beard, isn't it?
Bon Iver
even. Damn those fat fingers.
I hope not
I have listened to that album a couple of times but I really have to struggle to stay awake until the end.
It's Official. I love The Word
Beardie Monthly has arrived! Santa's on the cover...
PLUS
They have a special feature on my favourite musical genre.
A clue: rearrange these letters... G-O-R-P
Please say its not true
Anyone seen that Yes (Directors Cut) currently getting shown on some rock channel on Sky.
I decided in the spirit of things to give the prog monsters a chance. Dear God. What a load of dreary unmitigated tosh. Clue for you too Beany, rearrange these letters T-S-I-H.
Nothing personal though I just couldn't believe anyone could listen to it. And what was worse they didn't even include the only track I actually liked "Owner of a lonely Hear".
Total waste of my time. Now I'm off to try Genesis.
I've seen all good people
learn to love Yes. Keep trying; start with 'The Yes Album'.
If that fails to amuse you, keep going past Genesis until you reach safer territory.
Bill Bailey?
Rick Wakeman?
Any of these...
...

Nope
But he does have sunglasses
God, don't tell me it's...
... P**l C*****s ! ! !
Holy Shit!
It is, it's Gordon Freeman!
To boldly beard where no beard has grown before...
Back home and out of my misery! Brilliant, would never have guessed that although it does seem that people are getting bearded up in the hope of a Word cover!
My thoughts entirely
The lengths some people go to get their fizzog on the cover of Th'Wurd. Good to see Robyn Hitchcock has principles. Oh, and KT Tunstall. But if she would don a false beard she could be an assured future cover star.
Would anyone like to whisper who it is?
I promise I won't tell.
Not what I expected now I see it
after reading above. Best known as purveyor of a musical form far removed from prog but I bet he likes a bit of that rather arcane style - especially the more cool foreign stuff. A welcome face to see in fact.
Jonny Rotten?
Cliff Richard?
Noddy Holder? (please)
Blooper Alert
RE: Steve Hackett. It's "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight". Carry on everyone, nothing to see here...
I thought..
..he was dead.
Where's mine?
I subscribed this month and it hasn't arrived yet! Get down the post office Hepworth, or the direct debit gets cancelled
I didn't know Scouting for Girls
had it in them to grow beards.
I didn't know
The cover star could grow a proper beard. He always looked like a bumfluff type to me. They're deffo growing them to get on the cover, Retro Man. Apparently, Dido hasn't shaved for weeks.
Give me the seventies
Beards, Prog, what´s next Kaftans, Sandals, Ford Cortinas ?
aw come on!
Who is it? I live in belgium and my copy has to go to New Zealand first! I'm not going to see it until at least the 20th.
Albarn doesn't suit a beard....
But then, he never had a thirst for knowledge
Ahhh, Mr J.C. ...
... of Sheffield, I presume?
Good choice
Nice to see the Word team have a sense of humour - keep up the beard work!
How many beards are there?
Julian Cope has a good one. But I think the next (if there are any) female cover star HAS to wear a comedy beard.
Surely the next issue must be
Santa..?
New strapline:
"The Word - Not for Pogonophobes"
Errr...
Gary Numan?
Frozen Beards
I'm assuming it's Jarvis C (?)... (see page 7 of
http://www.nerc.ac.uk/publications/planetearth/2008/autumn/aut08-news.pd...).
This hot news (no pun) was also featured in his interview in the free Virgin Trains mag-though my eyes were rather drawn by their choice of cover star, one Kristin Scott Thomas ...
cover suggestion
after jarvis the december edition would appear to be ripe for joe cocker -got a beard hasn't he
Or even
Tom Cruise. He's got one too I believe. ahem!
