@Rusty, it's a lumberjack beard. Not Taliban, but lumberjack. It's really like the 90s grunge band styling, but with tighter jeans. I guess I can't talk about today's fashions when the guys I grew up with wore their jeans sagging down with just a hint of their boxer shorts showing. Very sexy obviously.
DJing seems like it's becoming more popular. Do clubs not hire bands anymore? Every wedding I've been to recently has had a DJ instead of a band. Maybe bands just aren't cool anymore.
