Freddie Mercury, CSN & Spinal Tap - My Tribute to So-Called "Mo-Vember". Greatest Rock Mustaches!

Music Wed - it is "Mo-vember", and I must concede I am not sure what the heck this whole thing is about. The best I can gather, without any real effort on my part (I must concede), is that this month is set apart to raise awareness around men's health issues. Really? Guys, we need this? I must be a little old school because I am not sure I get it, and it feels like guys got their feelings hurt when the pink ubiquity of October's Breast Cancer Awareness month made them feel like they needed their month too, so break out the mustaches! Anyway, seeing as Mo-vember has become a "thing", I want to pay homage to my favorite rock mustaches (not the best, mind you, but just the ones I get a kick out of). Number 1, hands down, is Freddie Mercury of Queen. I will save my full love for Freddie for a separate post, but for now, let's rejoice in his mega-butch 'stache. Epic facial hair overhanging an endless overbite, which acts as a virtual shelf to present this amazing mustache. Here's to Freddie and his timeless performance of "Radio GaGa" at LiveAid ( http://youtu.be/0omja1ivpx0). I will always remember how in a concert filled with rock legends, Freddie commanded and worked that huge Wembley crowd into a frenzy that no one could match. The next on our list is David Crosby - can't recall his overflowing walrus mustache? Check out this awesome cut of "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" (http://youtu.be/ptEF4Oi4Uk0) - yes, David is singing, but I defy you to see his lips move behind that luxurious mustache. Also, revel in Stephen Stills artistry - great performance of a timeless song. Finally, let's end with an iconic 'stache whose wearer is a fictional character. I pay tribute here to Derek Smalls of Spinal Tap, the greatest band that never was (yes, and that includes The Rutles). Check out Harry Shearer as Derek in a live version of "Big Bottom" (http://youtu.be/WI9APkJXDIE). Notice everyone playing only bass guitars, listen to the naughty and hysterical lyrics, and finally, check out Derek Smalls' mustache which connects with his mutton chops. Turn it up to 11! Enjoy!
