Headlines from Greggity on a Monday morning

Church has big Easter

I'm sure you saw this already, but Church smacked two homers and got four RBI in yesterday's win! Yay for Church!


Tracy is wise

Bill: "Were you [Greg] a youth group leader?"
Tracy: "I hope not!"


Vote for Hootie

I still love my Vote for Hootie shirt that I picked up at their concert at Wolf Trap last summer. I'm a little sad that you can just buy it on the internet, though. It takes some of the coolness away from my Hootie & The Blowfish T-Shirt.

Speaking of concert t-shirts, I find the whole trend of kids wearing "old" concert t-shirts a bit disingenuous. Have you seen this? They're making new shirts with old logos, old designs, old concert tours. There's something weird about seeing a 12 year old girl in 2006 wearing an Iron Maiden shirt. Twenty bucks says she's never heard an Iron Maiden song. And, like my Hootie shirt, I feel like it takes away a little from my shirts. I have my Poison shirt because I love Poison, I saw them five times in four summers. I grew up with them as part of the soundtrack to my youth.



So when I see a 15 year old kid wearing a "Look What the Cat Dragged In: World Tour 1986" I get a little sad. It diminishes the value of my shirt -- My cool Poison shirt, my cool Hootie shirt, etc.! Obviously this is a silly rant that deserves to go in the “Who Cares?” folder. I'm not really serious. But my point is they didn’t earn the t-shirt. They aren't fans, they're just trying to be "cool," whatever that is . . .
