Son of Timatollah

there are two edges to this dangerous sword:

first, you must realize that we now hold in our hands the awesome power to destroy the coolness of any movie or band by indicating that we like it. as the cartoon says, how cool can it be if middle-aged engineering professors are into it?

on the other hand, i'm always amused to see undergrads wearing the same pink floyd and led zepelin t-shirts to class that my friends were wearing 20 years ago, and they weren't new then either... perhaps some bands are still cool to each generation.
 

Well, if I'm into it, it must be cool. Don't know about you, neener neener.... (Speaking of which, The Killers have already made the jump to supermarket music. Heard "Human" at the grocery store just a few hours ago.)

Yeah, the market in t-shirts for bands that haven't played live since before the wearer was born does seem to thrive.
