<p>He didn't look it&nbsp;at the concert, but this pic of Glen&nbsp;looks eerily like ESD post&nbsp;hair removal.&nbsp; I guess they are both crazy micks!&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://aa.ecn.cz/img_upload/65636e2e7a707261766f64616a737476/GlenHansard.jpg" border="0" width="250" height="375" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
