?uestlove can’t seem to hold on to those combs of his. Speaking with New York Magazine, the Roots’ drummer says that despite buying a huge supply of his trademark item to tame his mighty Afro, he’s now down to a very limited supply. “I bought a massive stock, maybe like 2,000 of them,” he said. “So of those 2,000, maybe I have, like, 60 left. Because people insist on taking them. When we’re in concert and I say good-bye, then they grab it outta my hair.” He added that some of these combs have found their way onto eBay. (Via NYMag)
