Cool rock n roll photos

Meant to post this on his birthday this past Tuesday.

Why would she (or ANYone else) wear those shoes?!!

I've never been able to comprehend the entire idea behind 'high heels'.
I perceive of them as nothing but an accident waiting to happen.
It's interesting you posted that today.

Just last night, I saw a woman on TV in stiletto heels and I said to myself, "The older I get, the weirder and weirder high heels look to me."

I'm kind of with you guys. Even when I was young high heels were, well, maybe not a red flag, but definitely a yellow flag. Like, "Oh man, she'll never be able to keep up, and we're going to have to take cabs EVERYWHERE."

But I'm also sympathetic to the notion that some fashion choices are meant to exclude or repel certain types of suitors as much as to attract others. "That guy wants me to walk to the show, and spend vacations camping?? Ugh, no THANK you!"

So ladies, it ain't criticism. Just a little personal utilitarian taste, that's all. :)
 
Back in the day I had a very fit and very fashion-aware GF. She'd help with load out - grab a monitor wedge in each hand and high-heel hightail her way out to the van.
Great young woman. Still friends today.

Just thinking about them today. Some of my favorite tunes of theirs are the Vaselines covers. From an interview with Eugene Kelly:

"I've never made any money apart from my Nirvana royalties," Kelly noted. "It was my tiny bit of rock history, but a strange feeling because by then I was striving for recognition with other bands. I still haven't come to terms with it, although it allowed me to go on playing, and get a mortgage without having a job."
