Pluggers by Rick McKee for September 19, 2021

Also if he tucks his tee-shirt into his high wasted pant.

Not really because KISS is still touring I saw a teenager wearing a KISS shirt yesterday .

I am pre Kiss

Actually any older shirt will do that has the event date on it ;-)

Last week, I saw a young kid getting off a school bus wearing an “AC/DC” shirt. AC/DC was 40 years ago. That’d be like kids of my generation wearing “Benny Goodman” T-shirts or “Enrico Caruso” shirts…

I would proudly wear a Benny Goodman or Glen Gray tee shirt.

My oldest one is: ‘Tales from Topographic Oceans’. Yes, 1973. I was running concert concessions at the U and they arrived with a semi loaded with stuff! We pulled in more cash for our charity in four hours than the rest of the year.

Don’t have any old concert t-shirts from the 60’s – all worn out years ago.

Not all old people tuck their shirts in.

Eh, I bearly wears tee shirts.

Do they have Diana Ross and the Supremes?

Unfortunately, t shirts aren’t made well enough to withstand years of wear anymore. But there are plenty of t shirt companies who will sell reproductions for $5 (free shipping for orders over $51).

When I first saw one of my middle school students wearing a Led Zeppelin, I was impressed. Then I learned that they were for sale at Target, KMart, Walmart …

My recently deceased wife always told me that KISS was the very first concert she ever went to without an Adult. I always liked them never saw them in concert. I went to concerts with her I didn’t like to (hated the traffic) but she did and whatever she wanted I tried to do for her. We were going to try to see Phil Collins when he was coming to town this year because we both wanted to but alas it won’t happen now.

Never bought an overpriced t-shirt at a concert, but in the early 90’s my son gave me one from his band. (2 European tours and south America once)

Most of my t-shirts have to do with old, out-of-date high tech.

Modern metal heads and their pyrotechnics. . . Pffft! I went to a Beethoven concert where they used real Howitzers.

It was pretty fly, for an Old Guy.

I’m certainly a plugger, and I can’t begin to wear my old concert tees

The last music concert I went to was Linda Ronstadt, with Charlie Daniels as the opening act. Since we were guests of a roadie friend, and entered at the truck dock, I don’t know if they were doing merchandising in the lobby. The local symphony orchestra doesn’t sell tee shirts.

Not if it’s a Rolling Stones T Shirt. " I Can’t Get No Satisfaction+…..

When I went to get my 2nd COVID shot, an older gentleman (maybe 10 years older than me) waiting in line was wearing a “Beach Boys Endless Summer” T-shirt. Instant flashback to my junior high years in SoCal…the Beach Boys were my first “favorite band.”

I wasn’t into music concerts, but I got an Intel Pentium T-shirt.

The Who!

My Kiss t-shirt was sparkly! :)

I’d have to look in an antique store to find one from my era.

Pluggers can have the timate revenge on kids who wear reproduction t-shirts of bands they know nothing about and have never seen – “Oh, that band. I saw ’em 6 times” usually does it.

the concert t-shirts i owned were turned into rags long, long ago after too many spins in the washing machine…

The one t-shirt that trumps them all, “I may be old but at least I got to see all the cool bands.”

I’ve been to a number of concerts but only purchased one T-shirt. That was for the Simon and Bard Group supporting The Enormous Radio LP. Great fusion jazz music.
