The Red Beard Bandit contributes based on the intellectual curiosity of a constantly wandering mind. He is a champion of the underdog and the also-ran. The powerful and the victorious are passed up for the contender nursing his wounds while telling himself about what might have been what should have been but what will never be. It is here we find a poignant saddness revealing the truth that things are not right, mistakes have been made. And we. Are paying for them.
