Shorts...

[micguy]

I always wear shorts on stage, but I wear my pants over them.

Thank you your most informative post. In the mountains you can state that Not true on the piedmont. You are sorely misleading. Plenty of nights with temps lowering in the mid to upper 80’s that happen usually after midnight. I was there for 23 years, BTW. You’ve been there how long?

Secondly, there is a huge difference between the moisture content in the air in SoCal, and Arizona, compared to the southeast. That’s why we don’t go by temperatures, we go by heat indices. If you know anything about human anatomy, the effect of 100 degrees in a sauna is different than 100 degrees under a heat lamp.

Geepers. Why does everybody need to be so stinking argumentative is beyond me.

Heat indices. Duh. Thank you.

Heat indices. Duh. Thank you.

Yeah, when I first moved there it was, “Hey Hon, it’s only 90 out there other so I’m going to mow the lawn”..LOL!!! Talk about a rude awakening..

Hey which part of Va ya hanging?

I really don't care one way or another. I do see cargo shorts, chain wallet, and combat boots on stage at alot of metal gigs.

No, …just…no…

...not only cargo shorts, but ANY shorts. Of course we're all in agreement that cargo shorts on stage playing music is abhorrent behavior, but are there any shorts at all that dudes over 50 can wear and not embarrass themselves? Not only gigging, but in general?

Just wondering what the bass playing intelligentia have to say on this. I know, random and weird. Thus, miscellaneous. Go:

I'm categorically allergic to anything that resembles a dress code for rock 'n roll.
Jazz cats? Sure, I agree they oughta look sharp.
Classical musicians? They oughta look classy.
Rockers, punks, proggers, metalheads? Be yourself, rock on.
