I had a friend who went to a Slipknot meet and greet and met most of the guys... shook their hands and they were swell guys from his take. Seems to me theres a pretty good chance that their hands have probably shaken hands and/or passed spliffs with Rubin!! So my friends hands touched Corey Taylors', which then touched Rick Rubins and in return have touched his beard... therefore I've pretty much touched his beard.
If anyone wants in on any of this by-proxy-beard-magic-mojo-rubin-shiznit, hit me up for reasonable rates to sit around your studio and eat poptarts while you record.
