Take a good long look at this photo.
Want know what it reminds me of? (Read: what it should remind you of?)
My man Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. Brett Kiesel is clearly a huge fan and using the man as a style inspiration. Solid move, I do the same thing too. Ian Anderson is a musical genius, which totally reads via his choice of garb.
Heavy Horses also happens to be my favorite Tull album - Kiesel is closer and closer to becoming my biffffle everyday!
This particular snapshot is quite tame for Anderson, who spent the first 10 years of his career in disco boots and wild, unkempt hair - an accessory to his crazy eyes:

Not only does this man know how to write songs about absurd things while using proper grammar (something I haven't been able to achieve, klarly) because he's so educated&shit, he does it while rocking one of the largest beards known to rock n' roll (2nd to ZZ Top). Febreeze fresh I dare say. His insane mane is glorious. And to top it all off, he sports a flute.
He's a dreamboat. I'm going to go out on a very secure and short limb here, and say that Ian Anderson is the source of hipsterism today. And that actually makes hipsters a little bit more okay. It makes complete sense that all the hipsters would be trying to get in on this action.

Here's one from Warchild/Minstrel era - hence the codpiece. This man is the source of my envy of curls, considering I don't have a single sulfide-bond to call my own [sademoticon.com]. Note the sideburns, which are IDEAL.
And he is still the manliest man around while wearing leggings. Guys, take note. And no, you are not now permitted to wear leggings.
Heres hoping that another musician may one day profit off of songs written about homeless men, kinky girls and farming instead of fireflies.
