Tribute To John Lennon

Though nothing to celebrate, this evening marks the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's untimely passing. When you add this to the loss of John Bonham one might say that (in terms of rock & roll) 1980 was the worst year ever. Not to mention the fact that an entire generation still has beef with "Catcher in the Rye" for reasons beyond required high school reading.

The recent addition of the Beatles' catalog to iTunes may have angered a few, but I for one believe that if a whole new generation is introduced to the "marijuana" of classic rock maybe they will go all the way -- and crazy uncle Ted's record collection will see the light of day for another 20 years. One can only hope - and listen.

The shirt above is from our current selection. Copyrighted "1980" it was probably manufactured sometime earlier in the year. Great old school graphic design and style on a crisp red shirt.

Shirt of the Day - Cap'n Crunch Country Music 1984

Well here it is, the shirt du jour:

This shirt is a cross between a Cap'n Crunch Cereal Box and the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - all with a spicy taste of some fantastic country acts in the prime of 1984. This post would go on forever If I began to name names - but I would rather you picture the Woodstock of Country Music: a hard rainin', mudslingin', truck ridin', beer drinkin' good time -- back when Kenny Rogers had more pepper than salt and wasn't pushing chicken like the Colonel.
