Re: (TV) burma report

I occasionally, though not inevitably, wear the band/performer T-shirt to a show by the given band/performer - and someone not so long ago quoted the "Don't be that guy" admonition to me. To which I can only say: Isn't fretting about what is or is not cool, at the age(s) most of us on this list seem to be, rather, well ... uncool?
As for music T-shirts I've got, I have a couple of Mekons shirts, a Richard Thompson shirt, and a shirt from a festival I went to in Chicago that featured both those performers. Can't remember if I have anything else, at least in active rotation; the Gentle Giant shirt wore out long ago, and I recently gave away the R.E.M. "Little America" shirt from the Reckoning tour, which had become way too small. (Was I ever really a Medium?) But to judge from my daily attire, you'd think I was a big fan of a band called "WFMU." 8^)= (The bulk of my T-shirts seem to come from the annual fund drive.)

are not quite that guy as it is not exactly the same band.......but
dangerously close! Suggest your punishment is as per Bart Simpson.......you
should write 100 times on the blackboard 'I will never wear the shirt of the
band I am going to see'.

orchestra tee shirt when i saw burma -- does this make
