I’m not much of a pack rat, but I do have a bunch of original buttons from the late 70s that we used to pin onto our punk rock jackets. One says “White Punks on Dope” in black and white, and another says “White Dopes on Punk” in white and black.
Everything old is new again, huh?
Holy crap, I thought the feet in the “shoes” in the photo on the left belong to a cripple… the mike stand looks kind of like a foot of a walker-cane… and my guess is, if you wear these kind of shoes, you will soon need such a cane. These “shoes” are awful. I have one question: did Mr. McQueen even TRY to walk in them?
