This whole trend of icnoic rock bands as a hot fashion graphic flew right by me and I didn’t even realize its existence until my vist to Magic in August. It still has me confused to be honest, but okay. Are people that fed up with rap music or is it just the yearning for days of hedonism gone by? Looking back with longing at the years when people were getting laid on the reg and folks got sloppy in bars rather than wrapped further tight in Starbucks? No idea, but I do think these Chucks riffing on sexy motherfather Jim Morrison are cute:

There’s more rock bands in the collection, including Grateful Dead, Black Sabbath, The Who, Ozzy and Pink Floyd, which you can all buy at Journeys in November.

There’s a pair of lows from the same series on the other side that I like even more…
