On Beards And Buttocks.
Pete Hughes from Beard Rock came round to Scala in London for tea and an interview:
“One final question: what is your favourite beard and why?
Marianne: “I’d say the alpha male caveman beard: my boyfriend has a really good beard, it’s a regular caveman beard. It has to be full and thick and without a doubt a beard. You should be able to grab it like this.”
Solveig: “In the book ‘Cardamom town’ there is a weather guy living in this big tower and his beard is long and white like a wizard, and it represents wisdom and knowledge, that’s my favourite type of beard.”
Anne Marit: “My favourite type of beard is the ZZ Top. The story behind it is that the band had a break and they moved to different parts of the world, and they didn’t speak for a long time, and when they got together again it turned out two of the guys had not shaved since they last saw each other, and they both had long white beards. They didn’t plan it but they looked exactly the same.”
Turid: “My favourite beard has to go to a man in my little home town. There are about 4,000 people living there, and you can walk through in 5 minutes. The beard belongs to a man called Henning Doose (Turid pronounces it in a heavy Norwegian accent which I guess is meant to imply he’s very colloquial. I’m imagining the English equivalent would be an ancient farmer living in your town who put on fantastic bands. Like Michael Eavis). He’s a city original, and he owns two pubs. For the first two years we were a band we played for him several times. And he has a moustache which he never cuts: it started like this-” (Turid indicates reasonably majestic curls), “and now it’s like this (a 10-inch long extravaganza), and he’s driving an old American car and in the summer he driving along like this (leaning back looking very cool) “Hello girls!” He’s a real character.”
Wow. There’s a natural pause.
Anne Marit: And it’s my birthday today.”
