Nothing satisfies me more than watching 16 year olds parade around in freshly printed, "Rolling Stone" t-shirts.

But what are the chances they know Keif and Charlie? Slim to none. But hey it's cool, so who cares.

I'm simply astonished when I see a 16 year old kid wearing brand new, "Rolling Stones'" shirt with a caption that reads, "Since 1962"

Wow!!! Her parents did a great job in preserving that shirt. It's 40 years old and it looks brand new... They must be collectors or something...

What are the chances that her parents would keep a shirt around for so long? Who, in their right mind during the 60's, all drugged up would think about keeping a concert shirt?

Her parent's foresight amazed me... just imagine the money they must be saving for her college education. I continued these puzzling thoughts until I passed a store front window... a store front window crammed with nothing but, Tongues and T-Shirts. The Rolling Stones are back. Or are they?

Ever since Justin Timberlake supported his, Rolling Stones' T-shirt at some award show, kids everywhere have followed suit. Now when I was 13 nothing was cooler than wearing my sister's, "The Who" concert shirt... the only difference, I actually listened to the music.

How is it fair to assume that these kids aren't listening to the bands their proudly wearing? Well if they did, the Stones would be back on the charts.

But no. Instead we have kids running around trying to look cool, as they always will, but this time they have no Brown Sugar or Satisfaction to get them by. Instead, Nelly, Tweet, Nivea, Shakira... will guide us safely through our troubled times.

They'll help us through social turmoil. When bombs are falling and children are dying, don't become a, "Street Fighting Man..." Don't ask for a, "Revolution" Simply, take off all your cloths or, move bitch get out the way...

The bands from the 60's and their songs came from a spirited impromptu feeling that can never be recaptured. They seemed to offer us a solution to our problems. Nothing was planned, charted or schemed...unlike the perfectly ironed tye die you're wearing.

One more thing, JT... stands for James Taylor!!!
