I do the same thing with the Von Dutch bitchasses. Especially the boys. "Excuse me, do you have any idea who Von Dutch WAS?" Fucking idiots.

yeah, yeah, ha, ha and thrice ha. But let's face facts -- wearing a band/concert t-shirt is generally perceived as a declaration of fandom. Sporting, say, a "vintage" Sacred Reich t-shirt when one is not a Sacred Reich fan makes one a dishonest, disengenuous dick. Full stop. Moreover, being that the classic black metal concert t-shirt was formerly the calling card of the social pariah (cast out due to his/her "weird" tastes and failure to adhere to arguably more accessible fare), the appropriation of same by whistle-headed, blonde cheerleader types is an unacceptable insult to those who paid the price of unpopularity for their fandom. Is nothing sacred?

Pharrell Williams, y'know, listened to AC/DC. At least if his "I grew up around white biker trash" backstory (as seen in Da Capo 2000) has any veracity.
I own a Japanese Sapporo baseball jersey. I've always wanted to try Sapporo but the bar I go to with friends on occasion has stopped carrying it. Fuck.

Sapporo is best drunk out of the solid 650ml cans from a portable esky while lying in an extremely hot bath reading J.P. Donleavy and listening to the Fall. About 4 cans.
Is anyone else pissed off that there's a clothing band called 'Morrissey'?

by this logic Fred Durst should be allowed to wear all these shirts. Current listening according to his blog: Sparklehorse, Death Cab For Cutie, Pegboy.

Really thought there was more pushback against this thread at the time - maybe that happened on an adjacent thread?
i think there should be a rule that if you meet someone on the street wearing a vintage concert t-shirt and they can't name any of the songs by the band in question, they have to take off the shirt and give it to you.
Ugh ffs. Literally the worst.

Musicians Wearing Shirts from Bands That Sound Nothing Like Them

I think the pushback happened later, this thread being part of the general reaction against.
I'm sure my tale of how Alice got her Ramones t shirt is up there someplace.
Anyway, put it this way.. I have a Moondog t-shirt it's very nice. Nobody has asked me to name any tracks or anything. If they did I'd go I dunno.
The reason I have it is because I contributed to a kickstart to make the definitive profile movie. Its my reward.
― Mark G, Sunday, 10 October 2021 07:24 (two years ago) link
Ah, anagram, thank you, you are correct. And Mark, you should listen to more Moondog!

In context, Dave M. was obviously being facetious re making hot celebrities take off their shirts, surely? It might have been a crude (?) joke but it wasn't an elitist one and he was spoofing the thread. Slightly further down, he posted this:
why can't we just accept this as eye-candy, not to mention attractive people of both sexes unwittingly giving free advertising to our favorite bands? would you rather see Shania in a Ramones t-shirt than see her wearing a big honkin' Coca-Cola logo? or worse, a tour shirt featuring one of Mutt Lange's OTHER proteges, Mr Anti-Can-Con, Mr Everything I Do (I Do It For You), Have you ever really really really really really really really really ARRRGH#Q(#W)R*...― Dave M.

Hm, I guess, given the overall context (where he was admitting he himself didn't know some of the bands and then made clear that he didn't have an actual problem with this), I had seen it as better-intentioned but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt bc I knew him then. I respect your pov and don't want to be Capn-Save-a-17yo-Post; I can see why it could land differently for someone who has faced those attitudes.

mark g, moondog has great song titles just fyi
― brimstead, Sunday, 10 October 2021 15:58 (two years ago) link
I was in NY and I saw a Moondog 10" which looked intersting.
Then I saw it was on Honest Jon's label, ie the shop around the corner where I was employed at that time.
Seemed a bit daft to just buy it there and take it home all that way.
Anyway, when the film does come out, and I get my dvd reward, I'll come to his music fresh.
(I have heard some short pieces already though)
I'm sure you understood that my point was Because I'm a guy, nobody would ask me to qualify my wearing it, whereas if etc.
