The Dead

It’s called batik, and it dates from no later than the 8th century, possibly much farther back in Peru and Africa. The Dead are real old, but not quite that old.

I think polka dot tie-dye dates back to Lawrence Welk.

We’re grateful tie-dye is dead. (but it seems to be coming back)

Grateful dead was mid 60s, didn’t become really popular till a few years later. Tie-die was early 60’s, possible late 50s on the coasts. Shame you young folks don’t know all this important stuff.

Maybe it was a tie….

I read of a guy in Bangkok who fell into a vat of coloring. He was Thai dyed.
