Isn't Shania Twain married to Mutt Lange?
Or put another way, isn't it potentially credible that living with the guy who produced the album that the shirt she's wearing promotes might mean she's heard it?

I'm wondering in particular how (just for example) certain Killing-Joke-loving, NYC-living ILXors would feel about The Corrs wearing Iggy Pop shirts, since it might appear that they could claim sort of entitlement to do so with impunity?

I think once you've gone to see his Igness and gotten verbally harassed and spat at by the great man, then sure......you have earned the right.
As I alluded to upthread, I have more of an issue of her wearing ripped-up breast-baring Ramones t-shirts. But apparently I'm a knob for thinking so
If being right makes you a knob, Sean, then....er....knobs unite.

The latter. To some people, the Ramones mean something more than simply a product.

No, it's Jordan Knight, and he's wearing the Bauhaus t-shirt with the still from "The Cabinet of Dr.Caligari" on it. Stranger than fiction. Peter Cetera (sp?) of Chicago wears a "Bela Lugosi's Dead" t-shirt in the video for "You're the Inspiration". In both cases, it was probably a stylist that picked it out, but...y'know,...ya never know. Maybe NKOTB and Chicago are closet goths.

Not saying he has no business wearing it, but this picture reminded me of this thread (8 years ago!) :

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. especially if they're Jenn!fer An!ston or H!llary Duff.

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
― joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Sunday, 10 October 2021 06:19 (two years ago) link
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.
