You should call him "Mr. in NYC".

Nah, that's dumb.

I have a Baltimore Orioles jersey, and yet I could not name anybody on their team for the past several years. It has very pretty colors, though.

― chuck, Wednesday, 15 September 2004 20:40 (nineteen years ago) link

That's okay..it's..vintage.

― Nowell, Wednesday, 15 September 2004 20:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Can we put the Cult of Concert T-shirts into a little box and stomp on it until it bleeds?

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 20:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Why not?

― Nowell, Wednesday, 15 September 2004 20:43 (nineteen years ago) link

the orioles have got miggy tejada! and sidney ponson and melvin mora and jerry hairston... i know what you mean though, i used to have an orioles hat with the cartoon bird dude because i thought it was awesome, but i couldn't name anybody from that team other than frank and brooks robinson. and they won a world series! i have no problem with hillary duff wearing a motorhead shirt, seeing as how that pic was taken in her five-month halcyon hot period. nowadays, she could never get away with it.

― drew, Wednesday, 15 September 2004 20:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, I do know Boog Powell and Elrod Hendricks, at least.

― chuck, Wednesday, 15 September 2004 20:59 (nineteen years ago) link

generational differences, chuck. don't wanna make you feel old, but my pops used to speak of boog powell.

― drew, Wednesday, 15 September 2004 22:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Von Dutch is, like, the godfather of pinstriping, daddy-o.

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 22:39 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, well, i stopped collecting baseball cards real young, drew.

(and you did say frank and brooks robinson at least.)

― chuck, Wednesday, 15 September 2004 22:47 (nineteen years ago) link

more like watching espn obsessively like a total geek. for me, at least. but hey, i'm a red sox fan. the al east is my universe these days.

― drew, Wednesday, 15 September 2004 22:55 (nineteen years ago) link

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.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 23:22 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm all in favor of that.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 23:24 (nineteen years ago) link

In the case of a Motorhead t-shirt, they should have to name a song other than Ace of Spades. Which I'm not sure I could do, but I don't have a motorhead t-shirt, and I'm not Hilary Duff.

― Wooden (Wooden), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 23:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Wooden: they also aren't allowed to name the song Motorhead played when they were on The Young Ones. i can't remember the name either, but it's the only time i've ever heard Motorhead mentioned outside of ILX and ironic-t-shirt-land

― Dave M. (rotten03), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 23:32 (nineteen years ago) link

They played Ace of Spades on The Young Ones.

― Wooden (Wooden), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 23:34 (nineteen years ago) link

But what if they name the song "Motorhead"? Does that count??

― chuck, Wednesday, 15 September 2004 23:36 (nineteen years ago) link

yes, and then we slink away, not having seen any breasts despite our most valiant efforts at humiliating them.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 23:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Damn those fit girls in metal t-shirts. They were sent here to torment us.

Hahaha. Fred Durst in a Sting t-shirt! Those two really deserve each other.

― Wooden (Wooden), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 23:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Pharrell Williams wore an AC/DC shirt.

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.

-- alfalfa romeo (n*t*p*tr*...), September 16th, 2004."

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'?

― Sasha (sgh), Thursday, 16 September 2004 00:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Pharrell Williams, y'know, listened to AC/DC.

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.

He is nothing if not eclectic. Oh wait, strike that. he's just nothing.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 16 September 2004 01:02 (nineteen years ago) link

he's at the very least a thorn in your side

― manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 16 September 2004 01:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Not a major feat. i have a fuckin' forest of thorns in my side.

in the Olsen twin milk ad one of them has on a shirt with the Banana from the VU album... she also has a jacket or something over it so i don't know if the shirt actually says Velvet Underground... but.. there ya go!

― brontosaur, Thursday, 16 September 2004 02:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, there ARE rumors that Mary Kate has done her share of waiting for the man...

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Thursday, 16 September 2004 02:32 (nineteen years ago) link

the olson twins were hanging out in my dorm the other day and when word got around all these kids started stalking the door of the room they were in. apparently they'd already come and gone in the time that anyone had found out that they were even there though.

― Reed Rosenberg (reed), Thursday, 16 September 2004 02:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Looking at Alex's picture above:

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?

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 16 September 2004 05:48 (nineteen years ago) link

You've never watched the Power Hour, Dave?

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Thursday, 16 September 2004 06:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Provided that someone had actually been to a gig by the relevant band / artiste, it would be alright for them to wear one of that band / artiste's t-shirts then 'though, would 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?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 16 September 2004 07:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Shania came from small-town Canada, which probably meant that she DID grow up on a steady diet of country and metal, esp AC/DC. Whether her husband was involved with 'em or not.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 16 September 2004 12:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Sure, but she's so just trying to make it a look there.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 16 September 2004 12:52 (nineteen years ago) link

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.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 16 September 2004 12:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I find those delicately ripped/ruched/whatevered rock shirts particularly offensive.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 16 September 2004 12:56 (nineteen years ago) link

The Corrs wearing Iggy Pop shirts

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.

If being right makes you a knob, Sean, then....er....knobs unite.

He should be wearing a "Garfield" t-shirt, right? "Big, fat, hairy deal?" You know, Garfield?
