    Hank - I don't how else to reiterate what I said earlier. I don't have a problem with you personally. I like posting on a variety of subjects, this one included! Surely we're capable of disagreeing without rancor? I am.

    (also, I haven't created a thread for a couple of years now; if/when I do, you're more than welcome)

    ...and please, no need to take veiled shots. That's the childish, easy way out. I hope you're better than that.

    Cheers.

    veiled shots, that's funny, like you haven't done that, anyway let's just simplify this, I think that people who buy shirts of bands they know nothing about just to try and be cool are being not authentic and you disagree with me, and that is okay, it doesn't mean that those people don't have redeeming qualities or are bad people, it is kind of like the people that will only hang posters of shows they have been, which if you are a fan of the band I have no problem with, and some would find that contradictory, which I don't and if you are wearing a shirt that belongs or belonged to family or friend that is cool, because there is a personal connection to it, and that is how I feel and it doesn't matter whether you agree or not, we disagree and I good with that, and I take back any negative comments I am better than that, and it accomplishes nothing

    Does that mean it's ok for Emilio to wear the Mickey shirt? We have to clarify that. =))

    I think he just had the hots for minnie and so that was his connection with Mickey.

    you see all the Ramones and Nirvana shirts and even Led Zeppelin or The Who by people who can name more than 2 albums or 10 songs, some call it being a hipster or a poser, I just call it being lame. Because when you a shirt of a band you assume that person would have a little bit of knowledge about that band, certainly I would never expect anyone to be a geek like I am with Pearl Jam otherwise it is just a fashion accessory

    I'm not sure if someone else asked..but if you have to be able to name 2 albums to wear a shirt, but the band only has one studio album (let's say the sex pistols) then what's the ruling on that?

    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    I just can't stop wondering why Tom Cruise's pants are so dirty.

    Yet his socks are white! Wasn't he a car mechanic in the movie? Also, I have never been to disneyland, I feel bad now for everytime I wore a Mickey Mouse shirt
