Brandon Flowers
I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad.

People often ask how my hair has that supreme fullness even at midnight. Here's a trick that one of our Fox News stylists taught me: Backcomb your hair just at the crown for height, and then put a large velcro roller there and wear it for as long as you can. I keep rollers in until showtime.
