Friday’s Leftovers: Jim James On His Mustache

The American Mustache Institute fights discrimination against mustached Americans by promoting the growth, care, and culture of the mustache. Each month the organization interviews a prominent member of the Mustache Tribe. My Morning Jacket’s Jim James recently sat down with the AMI to discuss his love of facial hair, showering with guitars and what he thinks about Philly’s Dr. Dog.
