I was sorting through old T-shirts today.

Making piles for good to wear and current, another pile of ones that uhhh.. shrunk over the years, and finally one that was for shirts that fit but are no longer relevant. Among those was my old "I fucked Sarah Palin" (by voting for Obama). That brought back good memories.
One old shirt that I set aside because I may soon be able to wear it again was:

"Lock Him Up" in bold red, white and blue letters.

That shirt may have been as useful an investment as my Crosby Stills Nash & Young CSN&Y2K Tour shirt. The prosecutor just has to say the word.

But I can't think of a circumstance in which I'd wear it again either. I'm stuck.

5. I hadn't considered that, maybe I should. I wore it to a concert which was turned into an album...

They did a 2-nights-only concert in Berkeley with the San Francisco Symphony twenty-ish years ago, and recorded it for publication under the title S&M.

Maybe I could jazz it up a bit, framing-wise. I've got the CDs and concert DVD on a shelf somewhere. I might still have the ticket stub, I'll have to dig through some files in a box somewhere to see. I don't know if I can find a pic of myself there, that would being it all together...

Thanks for the idea.

I'm proud I own it, but every time I see it in the closet, it makes me sad.

Also, it has mysteriously shrunk in the closet. That closet shrinks things.

Google it and find one near you. You can preserve a time and place as you snuggle on the couch for a quick nap.
