Billboard magazine archive on Google books: [link]
All the way back to 1942.

I think it's a very good reason to have to miss the F2F, though.

Hint: Morrissy shaves his.
FYI, The Decemberists were on Colbert last night. Obviously the next day reruns have already rerun, but I'm sure it's downloadable.
They were awesome, too. I think the overt progness of the new album may work better in a live setting.
