I would love to see the Farmer featured on GFY wearing his Abbey Road-era George Harrison getup (denim shirt, denim pants, scraggly beard).
I imagine the post would go something like this:
Gentleman Fugmer
I'm sorry, we love the guy, but does he have to wear ALL denim, all the time? Pruning trees and clearing brush, sure, but when you're behind a desk in a stuffy office on the 8th floor of a government building? Come on. Where are the loafers? Where's the sweater vest? We wish he'd pay as much attention to his wardrobe as he did to keeping his hair cropped at precisely one-quarter-of-an-inch.
What is the quotation taken from? I see no link.
I think he did it on purpose. I think he's ashamed.
