'Stache Pioneer Award: The Beatles, 1967
Moustaches are to rock what Stetsons are to country, and sporting one is a rock rite of passage. Just after a young rocker picks up his first guitar, plugs in his Marshall amp, and hits that power chord, the moustache arrives on cue. It signals his arrival into rock manhood. Bolder than a tattoo and studlier than a piercing, 'staches make rock great. Without them, it's just prepubescent pap.
In honor of Movember (an annual November moustache-growing event to promote awareness of men's health issues), we salute the iconic artists who have embraced the look over the years. Here are the winners in our first annual GetBack Rock 'Stache Awards. And yes, we spell it the British way in tribute to the Beatles, those pioneers who inspired countless musicians to grow their own facial foliage.

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...
lifelong said "What people do in their lives its their business..just because he is an actor( so what, that's just a job).. He is human.. let us not forget he too has emotions..shopping spree, love life.. and etc just like the rest of us.. so people that always are interested to know about actors so much.. wanna know what they do and when.. you guys dont have a f***ing life. Get a life.. a job.. a something! See you dont wanna be you!"
-
On Worst Talk Shows in History...fed-up said "Chevy Chase was very funny when he was on SNL. That was a very funny show during the 70s, with the first set of comedians but, like Magic Johnson, Chevy Chase was a flop when he got his own show. And Alf was just too strange--he was just awful--a disaster! I really hated Alf, really did not like that character! Wasn't cute or adorable. Didn't like him at all. Still don't!"

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...Timo said "C'mon folks, the dude just a cool good actor. I don't care what kind of movie it is as long as Nicolas Cage or Denzel (my other obsession) are in it. His spending? I would buy all that shit especially the houses if I could afford it. Octopus and Cobra? NO. I laughed my ribs off from his admission ...."We come from a long lineage of robbers and highwaymen in Italy. Even killers." Go Nic just don't end up broke like Mike Tyson!"
-
On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...majik said "eBay was made for people like this. Some of the things owned by Nicholas will go for huge money as long as it does not appear to be a firesale. I enjoy all of his movies and do hope that Mr. Cage can continue to provide the entertainment on and off screen for a very long time to come."

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...mickey_dees2009 said "It seems to me that some people are forgetting where we live. This is the United States of America! And as such we are entitled to freedoms. If we choose to spend our money on "weird" items, then so be it! Its our money and we can do with it as we wish. Put yourself in his shoes and you would more than likely buy what he is being criticized for. Would you like for the people or the government to tell you what you can and cannot buy or own? NO! Get off it! Nic Cage is a great actor. Period.And as far as 'helping charities , he does help by donating his time and money (money that he worked for) to charities and needy orginations. "Help the the children and people of Kenya"? For those of who still believe in God and doing what is morally right, Take care of what is in your own backyard. Clean up this country and then we will be in better shape to help others. Also, who was it that came up with the website godismichaeljackson, is a fool. Pure and simple.! That is blasphemy 100 % ! No human (dead or alive) can compare to God."

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...dwightmlee said "You failed to mention that he has one of the biggest egos on the planet! There’s the answer to all your questions. His financial problems – all attributable to his massive ego – but of course he blames them on others – like all the egotists always blame everything – on others!"
-
On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...jeffreyw4 said "I've always been puzzled by this "brilliant actor" buzz. Nic Cage is a reasonably competent actor and has some emotional range. But he is a one character performer. That is, he ultimately only plays himself. And a lot of his delivery has a sort of monotone blandness to it. By contrast great actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Daniel Day Lewis not only can emote (much more convincingly, I would add) but can also take on truly diverse roles. "

Don't forget the late Harry Reams and his gooey 'stash.

'Stache's have always made a guy look homosexual to me. Not older men, just the younger guys. When my hubby tried to grow one, I called him Freddie Mercury for weeks, until it drove him to the clippers and a fresh razor. No offense meant to Mercury and his unbelievable talent! His 'stache was completely appropriate for the times...and lifestyle.
Will you please make sure to keep Getback free of spammers like "seeking a suga man"? I have already placed my complaint, and hope other's will too. Thanks.

Where is Ray Parker, Jr? I know you are doing 'Rock' however you have someone under 'Soul Stache' with a Marvin Gaye flavor, Barry White - who ironically Ray worked for, studies under and produced with, and Keith Sweat. Ray Parker, Jr. as we all know, was 'Soul' while with Raydio and wore a powerful 'stache' throughout his entire career. I, too, guess you forgot about that one.
