It’s the Hair
It’s gotta have something to do with the hair. Vern liked him much better clean-shaven; wounded eyes downcast under wire rimmed glasses, short hair neatly combed. That was the prag he knew what to do with. This Beecher he doesn’t understand, with his strange, pointy beard and his sly fuck-you smirk. It reminds Vern of right before the riot; Beecher threatening his parole, all bushy bearded and wild eyed as he sauntered off: “I got it bad, and that ain’t good…” Well, he wouldn’t win this time. Vern would figure out a way to save Andy, one way or another.
