Follow the Band Embroidered Shirt

To their credit, this new generation is borrowing some of our best material.

What’s old is cool again. Cotton and lace nightgowns. Strings of pearls. Embroidered blouses, flowy skirts.

Your nieces come to the house and rifle through your long shelves of vinyl and borrow tall stacks of the best albums. As good now as back then.

Maybe it’s time to tell them (not everything, of course) about the summer of 19 something when you followed your favorite band across the country and back, from Minneapolis to Modesto to Miami.

If you weren’t wearing a band T-shirt and cutoffs, you were wearing something like this. An almost-unruly, loose braid falling over your shoulder. Every cell of your being steeped through with music.

I can almost hear the scratch of a needle on an old 33.
