Worn Free - dress like a 70s rocker

Wornfree

Here's a clever idea - dig through old rock photos, pick out all the images of 60s and 70s rockers wearing t-shirts, then re-create those shirts for today's market. That's the idea behind Worn Free.

Just click on the photo of your favourite t-shirt wearing star (including the likes of Gram Parsons, Frank Zappa, John Lennon and Joey Ramone), then see a full-size picture of the replica t-shirt available on the site.

Prices are around £25. Not cheap, but not bad for a bit of iconic clothing.

For the best book on the Ramones read,
"On The Road With The Ramones"
http://www.ontheroadwiththeramones.com

This is a MUST-HAVE book for all Ramones fans. It's an inside look from the people who were actually there witnessing and experiencing all the extreme highs and lows of one of rock's greatest bands. The Ramones' music has influenced nearly every power pop, punk, alternative, and metal band. Monte A. Melnick served as The Ramones tour manager from their early New York club days at CBGB's in the '70s to their farewell gigs in 1996. Filled with memorabilia including photographs and interviews collected along the way, this is his view of life on the road with the band as "baby-sitter to psychiatrist, booking agent to travel agent, paymaster to van driver." It's such a fascinating read, you'll have a hard time putting it down. Buy it, read it, and then revisit their albums. You'll never look at the Ramones in the same light.
