Rock & roll mustaches

The music and mustache cultures have often gone together like chocolate and vanilla, peanut butter and jelly, Mr. T and great acting, or Vanilla Ice and career longevity. This week on Yahoo! we find this story about the top 10 greatest rock & roll mustaches.

It is clearly a well thought out, and well researched piece, but we would question the inclusion of Frank Zappa in the top spot. This is not due to his musical genius, as this is unquestioned. But more so, because as you, our 15.2 loyal readers know (the .2 as one of you is a dwarf), the AMI considers any chin coverage - such as a soul patch, goatee, or beard - to be a "spousal compromise."

"The Zappa" style includes, of course, the soul patch. So we must take this into consideration. Deep consideration.

Regardless, it's a good read. Carry on.

About afroman

The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more. Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing. On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer. “I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.” Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch. Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita. As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita." Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
