Of course no mention of the fez is complete with out bringing up Morrocan Mole from Secret Squirrel: And you cant forget about The Neptunes who will often times wear their fez's, which they sale on their website, while shredding there legendary double neck guitars: Personally, I connect the fez to lounge culture, as brought up before, as a symbolof exotic and far away lands. The Shriner/mason trip I never new much about or understood. Thanks for all the info, this is an interesting thread. Chongolio Lost-Isle Coconut Wired Podcast Barefoot bloggin'
