Of course, Corin was wearing it because 'Marshall' is also her son's name.

I'm not sure who that is in the middle, but Ian McKaye and Ryan Adams is a strong candidate for Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

Except for the part about being happy about it or anything.

Hope Ryan gets that job at Hot Topic.

two famous middle-aged American musicians with punk rock backgrounds meeting each other doesn't strike me as hugely surprising

maybe if it was a photo of Ryan doing a load of coke off a glass table while Ian looked on. or indeed vice versa

And you're speaking of Ian and Keith, right? The two guys with punk rock backgrounds.

Peter Hook rocking his Motorhead tee.

Well, a Motorhead-inspired shirt at any rate...

From the page selling the damn thing: "Old Guys Rule tee shirt Motorshed place of spades in black. Great gift idea for an old time motorhead fan who now spends more time in the shed than rocking out to motorhead!"

Probably needs further investigation but I spotted it on the video: Kanye at Glastonbury.

The bleach patch on his left shoulder has NIKKI SIXX MICK MARS TOMMY LEE VINCE NEIL written in it in marker. Only Nikki Sixx is really clear in the picture.

Well they produce a lot of hardcore, but the *other* kind of hardcore.

Maybe this thread should be closed down and a permanent link to Urban Outfitters posted instead.

going on their wiki page Yellow Claw sound like the most Dutch thing ever

the dude's shirt seems to be some sort of bespoke thing, the lettering is behind the scissors on the design?

I've been on a Dead bender these last few days, so that really mellows my trip right about now.

Seems like you could really write any story imaginable by sourcing 9 tweets.

Yeah, as long as you sign off by writing:

Why is everybody so offended? Metallica shirts are everywhere! Are there not bigger things to be upset about?

Timbaland is the latest hip-hop/R&B type to be seen sporting a punk rock jacket, his being leather and adorned with Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Subhumans, Crass and the like logos.

The Metal injection website reports on it with some of the snide commentary that we don't use here because we liek that sort of thing.

Alex in NYC brought this to my attention:
Message to Kids: Rush Isn’t Cool

This article by Andy Cush at Spin.com was prompted by Travis Scott wearing a Rush shirt at the Grammys.

http://www.rushisaband.com/images/201902/4243.f.jpg

Even funnier to me is that it was evidently Kylie Jenner's shirt which likely infuriates a lot of people to no end. It certainly upset Alex.

I find the article lame for a bunch of reasons, but they have nothing to do with being mad anyone is wearing a Rush shirt.

King Crimson is just as dorky and isn't on Spotify.

I still think the article is actually lovingly praising Rush but either I'm way off or everyone else is misunderstanding it, based on social media.

I don't think a Rush hater would reel off their proggiest deep cuts like that.
