Thank goodness some fashion trends don't come back around. Why was it EVER acceptable for a dude to have feathered hair, cut his Heart, Blue Oyster Cult, or Thin Lizzy concert shirts to expose his lower back and stomach, wear tight jeans and white Nike tennis shoes, and have an oversized hairbrush in his right back pocket? Geez! I had a soundman in the very early 90's who still had that look. It was horrible. Clubs would ask management to please have him put on a "full" shirt during load in. What an embarrassment, what a jackass. Then there was Ron John, the biggest stonner in my neighborhood when I was growing up. He was like six years older than us which made him old, real old. The dude was lit up 24-7. He once made himself a skateboard that was exactly the size of his left foot. He thought he was the shit, the cat's meow. It was a skate without the boot. He fell off and scraped himself up daily. No wonder they call it "dope". The pot head was full of scabs. Anyway, good thing not all trends make a come back. Awful. Take care. Later, Butch
