Did anyone else do a double take when they saw the New York Times magazine this weekend? It features a young Fidel 'n friends and they look like they came straight from Beulahland.

Look at him! The cute aviator cap, the bushy beard, the Elvis Costello glasses. His friend to the left has that goatee and the guy on the right has that sweet afro (side note: why don't revolutions involve sweet afros these days?). If you replaced the machine guns with organic bread loaves, they'd be the coolest kids on the Stumptown block.

Don't you want them in your band?
