home, sf
in the heat with a blue jean girl
i'm bringing back the sleeveless t-shirt to rock.
i think whatever lack of quality we are experiencing in music today,
and there's a lot, it can be fixed with the return of the sleeveless
t. and i'm sure some of you are saying...
'matt, The Strokes wear sleeveless t-shirts'
um. yeah, they do... but do theirs come in animal prints?
not in any fucking promo shots i've ever seen... cowards.
seriously though...
i'm watching Journey live in Houston... from about 1981.
and they just look like the happiest bunch of dorks ever to
release albums with one word titles all based around
space missions (Arrival, Departure, Frontiers)
sure, maybe they were just psyched to be so close to NASA...
but i've been to Houston and that place has never seemed as cool
as it does right now. or ...actually, right now being 1981.
and one more vote in favor of sleeveless Ts?
they instill a fearlessness in whoever wears them.
like magic capes...
how do i know this?
if you wear a sleeveless, animal print t-shirt....
tonight, steve perry is the cheetah and jonathan caine is the
tiger...
you walk unafraid. you don't subscribe to the bullshit rules of
society.
you wear your jeans tight, your hair feathered
and you intro songs like... and this is verbatim:
"i called neil (schon, Journey's guitar player) up the other day.
i said, 'how you doin'?' he said, 'i've never felt so good.'
i said, 'the other night i talked to you and you were feelin'
down in the dumps... what's your secret?'
he says, 'i found me a lady and right now, son, i am stone in love!"
-song starts-
i mean, come on, that shit is PRICELESS!
i bet you won't be hearing gems like that
when The Strokes play your town.
but you can bet your ass that you will this summer,
when the Journey/Def Leppard co-bill hits your local animal park...
i know i'll be there, dressed as the sleeveless zebra.
