"Kurt Wearing Me" and "Wendy Wearying Me"

Who put out the album called "Living In the Past?"

You mean it wasn't Wendy?

Ah nostalgia...

"Kurt wearing me." Yes, and someone unkind might ask if he wore you out. Or what form of pearl jam you were wearing thanks to any number of depressed punks who liked loud music and a quickie.

Kurt wore a t-shirt that he might not have even be aware he was wearing. But let's say he actually liked the band's music. That might not be an endorsement for what the woman is doing now.

And just because somebody you like likes something, it doesn't mean you will like it. Like, that's something, huh? How many Eric Clapton fans have every Robert Johnson album? How many John Lennon fans believe "Don't Worry Kyoko" remains "the best rock and roll record ever made?" How many Dylan freaks sit around studying the clues in the lyrics on a Blind Willie McTell record?

What do you hear from air-headed hosts of Emmy, Tony, Grammy and Oscar shows on the red carpet? "WHO are you wearing?"

Well, why not ask a second question: "WHO were you wearing 25 years ago who is now dead?"
