The t-shirt is kinda cool, I like the Lou Reed and John Cale characters

resurrecting this topic to say I found that shirt in a store yesterday, dress wearing hippo and all, haha. Apparently Paul Frank and Warhol Enterprises have an official deal, they had a lot of Warhol related stuff on Paul Frank products.
oh, and I bought it and am wearing it. $23 for a goddamn tshirt, but I like it.

Going back to Sars comments I saw a photo of David Beckham wearing a Ramones tshirt! Do we really think he's a fan NO ! I'd say he's more a Lighthouse Family listener..

I have to interject here and say that I think the kind of elitism that is displayed by a lot of (for lack of a better term) 'indie' music fans is disgusting. Someone else's recorded music is not your personal flag to wave. That muscle bound jerk that is dating the girl you had a crush on might actually listen to your favourite band for the same reasons you do. Robbie Williams might even be a bigger Amon Duul 2 listener than you thought possible. Get out of your cliques while you still can and stop judging peole.
