Last night on The Voice, Usher wore a raccoon hat. It was a very noticeable raccoon hat — maybe not quite as tall as Pharrell’s Arbys chapeau, but soft-looking, and with an actual tail. A real Davy Crockett moment, for sure. But it turns out that Usher has owned this hat since at least February 20 and has been wearing it in public everywhere, for all to see and admire. We have not been paying enough attention to Usher’s Raccoon Hat. Please allow us to remedy that situation now.
