No matter how early or late, happy or sad, or how full of caffeine or codeine I am, whenever I hear Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” I feel empowered in that Rage Against the Machine kind of way, and I wanna put on a pair of old Dr. Martens and run out into the street and riot for justice.
Is there a song that makes you feel that way?
Has anyone paid much attention to the back page of The Dallas Observer? Inevitably there is an ad smack-dab in the middle for a clothier called American Apparel. Seriously, who is buying that overpriced, over-marketed, so-called ORGANIC shit? I can get a purple t-shirt for 7 bucks at Old Navy and NOT have any discomfort from the cotton they use.
Don’t fall prey to this not-so-modern moda. They want your money and they market to sheep who have been blinded by pop culture phrases like “vintage clothing”. All they want is New Money for Old Rope. Does The Emporer’s New Clothes ring a bell? Pam Ewing might wear it, but that was 1985 and it was just a dream. NOT to be confused with “the American dream” – which is what Harry Parnass, advisor to American Apparel, stated that the brand is selling. {1}
Dream? – Nightmare. Consider this your wakeup!
Hopefully you have paid a lot of attention and consequently NO money to this company.
Just my opinion. Take it or Leave It.
