I wish more people would wear MC5 and Ramones T-shirts, actually.

Otherwise, how would thoes poor little Justin fans ever hear the word?

If someone gave me a Sinatra T-shirt from when he played John Ascuaga's Nugget, I'd be ecstatic. I'm sure there'd be some 75 year olds that would call me a poser as I strolled past their park bench, but so be it.

Cab Calloway's zoot suit would rule, too. Even though I'm probably more suit than zoot. :wink:

Heck, some Don Ho toss aways from the 60's would rock!

Those kids probably look at us in our aloha shirts and wonder about our tolerance for rayon.

I don't like Weird Al so much, but I don't feel that my aloha-shirt-street-cred is being threatened by his look.

You think their is a forum somewhere where people from the first age of Tiki talk about us modern wannabes stealing their look and sound?
