Selling Out Never Seemed So Fashionable


At this point, it's probably not even worth emitting much of a sigh when you hear that John Fogerty is selling a line of flannel shirts. Though the fact that they're called "Fortunate Son Flannel" is an extra little twist of the shiv between your ribs. And what? Mike Watt, too? One that looks very similar—"This is almost like the real deal; this is almost how that actual shirt was"—to the one he was wearing in the picture on the cover of Double Nickels On the Dime. I mean, okay. There are probably better things in the world to get all up in arms about. Have you ever seen the video above? I had not before today. It looks like they filmed it on a barnyard porn set.

I still feel worse about Joe Hill's Rebel Girl push-up bras.

It wasn't a good sign when he showed up on American Idol last season.

Fogerty makes exactly *zero* money off CCR nowadays, so more power to him.

I admit I cringed when I saw that about Mike Watt, but when it gets down to it, Mr. Watt can do whatever the hell he wants. He's Mike Watt.

So you know, a GG Allin collection exists as well: http://altamontapparel.com/articles/2013/03/11/gg-allin-for-altamont/

@P.J. Morse Srsly, I had a flash of WTF, but then, who cares? It's not like he's Phil Gramm or something.

@PoignancySelz Now that you mention it, I wonder what it would look like if Phil Gramm had a flannel line.

Double $$ for a dime.
I dislike flannel shirts only a little more than capitalism, so yeah, it's basically a push.

Nobody else understands how tough it is to find a shirt that fits than the guy whose body is just a series a points.
