TBS' comedy series My Boys returns with new episodes tomorrow night. Anticipation is high, due to some serious critical buzz (as they say out here in Tinseltown-adjacent Poserville); signs point to a show that's coming into its own in a big way, with a smart and sexy ensemble vibe that's reminding folks of Friends.
We're happy to hear all this because (1) we love TV and (2) Worn Free shirts are featured prominently on some prime My Boys real estate, namely the torso of Brendan (Reid Scott), a freewheeling DJ whose most prized possession, according to the official site, is his "collection of vintage rock T-shirts."
Our kind of guy. So it's no surprise to see him in, say, our John Lennon Home shirt:
And here he is in a fetching blue Worn Free logo shirt:
And yes, the characters regularly play poker. You can play along at home! Here's another game you can play: Let us know when you see Brendan in a new WF shirt. We'll get you started; if you squint at this pic you'll see he's wearing our striking Gram Parsons Flying Burrito Bros. tee.
So get to watchin' ... we expect your reports.
It will not escape your notice that Brendan, much like another WF devotee in TV Land, Vince (Adrian Grenier) on Entourage, is incredibly handsome and a total babe magnet. Will wearing Worn Free make you madly sexy and irresistible too? Of course it will.
Look,everyone! It's Scott Ian, guitarist-frontman of metal hellraisers Anthrax, and he's wearing ... a Worn Free John Lennon "Home" shirt?
That's right, people: The most badass, hardcore, mosh-ready, combat-tested thrash-rock musicians are totally down with the stylish design and downy softness of WF attire. And considering how hard they work, why shouldn't they be?
Fun fact: Scott's full name is Scott Ian Rosenfeld, and his first band was called Stormtroopers of Death. One wonders how the Rosenfelds of Bayside, Queens felt about this choice of moniker.
Hey, does anyone know where this photo came from?
Meet Allan Tannenbaum. He's one of the great photojournalists of our time, and his shots of John Lennon and Yoko Ono are legendary -- so much so that they've fueled a voluminous show at Washington, D.C.'s Govinda Gallery and figure largely in his upcoming book, SoHo Blues.
The Passaic, N.J., native made films, taught photography and filmmaking and, in the '70s, began working for the SoHo Weekly News, for which he shot the Lennon-Ono portraits. Among these is a shot of John in the original Record Plant Studios shirt; as you can see, Allan is pictured in two Worn Free editions originally made famous by Lennon, Home and You Are Here.
During the '70s and early '80s he also produced iconic shots of everyone from Bob Marley to Jack Nicholson (not to mention porn stars, poets, athletes, Studio 54 revelers and even a pic of Woody Allen with Betty Ford). After the demise of SoHo Weekly News in 1982, Allan embarked on a series of adventures abroad, documenting turmoil and change in South Africa, Korea, the Middle East, Africa, The Philippines and South America, among other places. He's living an extraordinary life, and we're grateful to him for documenting it so vividly. But we have a feeling he's just getting started.
In case you didn't know The Big Issue is a great idea started in the UK. They get quality writers to contribute articles to the newspaper which is sold almost at cost to street vendors to sell to the general public. It's really helped people in a homeless crisis by giving them something worthwhile to sell, self-respect and a legal income.
So a friend of mine was reading it on the way to work and noticed
- Some great pictures of the Kaiser Chiefs.
- John Lennon's Home Free t'shirt being worn by Nick.
For more scans of the article visit the press section of the store.
I was browsing the net the other day and catching up on music news when I noticed Nick and Ricky from the Kaiser Chiefs wearing my shirts in an NME article. I dug a little further and was very happy to see they even wore them in their music videos.
I grabbed the article from NME and you can see the shots in the press section of my store. Nick seems to like the John Lennon Home Shirt whilst Ricky is into Frank Zappa's Radio Clyde (popular with everybody it seems).
So I searched the YouTube and found some of their videos for all to enjoy.
Above is Ruby from the Kaiser Chiefs featuring, I might add, John Lennon's Boy Howdy Tee. The legendary rock rag’s mascot Boy Howdy! was created in 1969 for CREEM by R.Crumb, notorious perverto cartoonist and western mystic. John picked up a stash of Boy Howdy! T-shirts when he and Yoko visited Ann Arbor Michigan
This one has Record Plant Studios in it. A great green T with a fantasic design.
A entertaining Channel 4 video featuring the band... you can barely seem em but it's worth mentioning RPS T (again!) and Lennon's Come Together.
The t-shirts I found for this post as worn by the original artist and available at www.wornfree.com:
