If this pisses you off, what wouldn't? If they were wearing couture 
from Paris? As Frank Zappa answered someone in the audience in the 
very Live at the Filmore, "Everyone in here is wearing a uniform, and 
don't you forget it." Was the hippy uniform any better? Is silver 
better than gold? Is the ghetto kid wearing the ghetto uniform any 
better dressed than the kid in the burbs?

Well, gotta get outta here. Goin out in my jeans and T.
