Frankie Say Relax

• I'm of the opinion that if you were born in the 80's you really shouldn't dress like the 80's...though I really feel the same about people born before the 80's too.

• I may be a little late to chime in, but here goes. Honestly, I think if you grew up during that time period or were listening to FGTH <i> earnestly </i> that the shirt is A) 109% awesome. However, if you grew up in the 90s with only a vague notion of FGTH, or are wearing the shirt to be "ironic", the shirt is both B) Lame and C) An affront to the 80s. Wearing a shirt of a band you don't know / don't actually like is like wearing a cologne/perfume you can't stand. Why would you do that to yourself?

• a) awesome

• I'd put it in the same category as the "vintage" Led Zeppelin tour T-shirts they sell at Target. That is to say: b) Lame Now, if the T-shirt had been an English Beat "I Just Can't Stop It" T-shirt (like the one worn by Sting in the "Don't Stand So Close To Me" video"), then it would have been awesome.

• My favorite line from <i>The Commitments</i>: �You had the Frankie Goes To Hollywood album before anyone had ever heard of em. And you were the first to realise they were shite."
