Aw dude, i know that, but not like back in the dayz, man, those pants WERE THEE IT THING...now, it's all abt them damn baggy jeans, levis, I rarely see cords. Afros, still, a rarity. Funk bands, a real live funk band, it's hard to even see a good concert with a real live funk band, unless it's a funk band that is trying too hard to convince the audience that they are the "original" band. It's all abt fake musicians, fake singers, image, image image...
