I remember when I was in a punk band in Los Angeles in early 1978. All the guys still had long hair and very few people had even heard of punk music. So of course we never could buy an cool new clothes... We had to make our own or we'd go to the local Good Will store and buy all the clothes the grandmas and grandpas sold.
Me in 1979 with silver hair....
The old folks had the coolest sh*t! They had, by far, the coolest sunglasses too!
Also, I thought it wasn't fair that, while we young people had short hair and colored it purple or silver, everyone though we were freaks but the old people were all walking around with green and blue or purple hair. Heck they still do! No fair!
OK... Well, it's not exactly the Twelve Days of Christmas.... But funny just the same and sure to bring a smile...
*I like the message to this entire production: The collapse of the USA economy. But the more subtle one is a criticism of a consumer society that bases status on how much junk one owns.
