These guys have especially excellent hair. I have to single out Durno's "parting of the Red Sea" mustache hairdo.
that's so true - incredible hair. david blaine could take a few hints from these guys and grow some heavy waves, maybe a zappa, or a handlebar at the very least. entertainers just aren't as interesting as they once were (or at least seemed)
I love these. The graphics remind me of some sheet music I have somewhere. I thought "Bennett" was funny.....until I saw "Marco"!
