with sssoul that's funny. Nobody likes a suck-up. Here in Germany not too many older people wear rock and roll shirts.

We got married in Stones shirts. The judge laughed when the four of us walked in...

My students tend to wear Stones shirts on the day they get their grades. Isn't it strange

sometimes to work

I once sat at an outside coffeehouse table reading and wearing my 40-Licks-Tour T-shirt when about seven girls about 14 filed past, a couple randomly singing, and, as a joke, I said, "Thanks for singing for me." They continued into a boutique. About ten minutes later they exited and again filed past and, this time as they passed me, all seven were singing BEAST OF BURDEN. I said, "Is that for me?" They nodded and continued to file past and sing. It was totally adorable. They'd seen my T-shirt.

I may have told this story before on iorr, and apologies if I have, but just in case;
When I was a Lecturer in the 1990's I noticed two of my female students walking around college both wearing a plain white t shirt with the classic lapping tongue design on...no Rolling Stones on it or anything that mentioned names of the bands. Anyway, later, when they came into the lecture room and commented that they were great t shirts and that I had quite a few of my own...at this point about 5 or 6 of the group started giggling and generally dissolving into hysterics. Naturally I couldn't understand this reaction and for the next 10 minutes or so tried my very best to get the reason out of them...eventually one brave soul spoke up and informed me that it's 'the symbol for oral sex' ! I was more shocked at their complete and utter ignorance of the significance of what they were wearing than the supposed relation to oral sex.
So, that would support what many of you have already said that many young people wear them becuase they've seen the design on some 'celebrity' or other and haven't the faintest idea it is the logo of the Rolling Stones.
Even more worrying was a conversation I had last week with a 17 year old who hadn't heard of the RS....very scary

Just wore my tank tongue tee to my gym class this morning. My teen son actually wears them all the time now, the ones he owns and the ones he borrows from me. As Beast has complained and I agree, most of the tour shirts only come in men's sizes. So even a small mens doesn't fit me right. That's one of the reasons I mostly only wear them around the house. Lucky Brand had a good selection of Stones tees in womens sizes for this recent tour.
