Is Wearing Sunglasses On Stage Douchey?

Nicholson is cooler than cool (but not ice cold). Then again I watched The Departed a few weeks ago, so I still have that running through my thoughts daily. Anyways, he's almost as cool as this guy.

IMO, it's not douchey. I'll be doing it the next time I gig. Never thought of it before. Lights always get in my eyes and I gotta squint to see anything.
 
depends on the glasses and the context.
I've played in venues with follow spots and it was brutal, especially the old fashioned ones. Also playing outside in the daytime I MUST have my shades.

OTOH if I see another person wearing fake prescription glasses I will break their nose. If I could get along with no glasses I would! What is next, fashionable wheelchairs?
