Where It Came From

Ever wonder where the black leather jacket came from, or the cold stare you get from the man wearing it out in front of the bar. What about the cold shudder that runs down your spine as you pass the guys wearing the bandannas and sharply creased khakis. Well, here is some insight, the idea of this sole called rebel actually took shape due to Hollywood. Weather you like it or not, that is the truth. But don't let it bother you if you just realized that your own personal style is actually a knockoff of what was being done on the silver screen some 60 yrs ago.

Let me remind you that even as a copycat you are in very good company. There is Bucky, Brando, McQueen, Presley, Newman, and I could go on and on. They were all doing it back in the day. Nobody did Rebel the way these guys did it. I mean nobody.

I feel the same way about people with mohawks nowadays...Mr. t was the last guy that successfully pulled off the mohawk look... I think about the mohawk more as a symbol of rebellion in the UK in the 70's... it was cool THEN...not so cool on a chubby little 12 year old now...*sigh*

You couldn't be more correct.
