that's hot!

A correspondent in NYC has informed me that the new hipster trend in Billyburg (yes I said it) is Jesus-style headbands. I'm going to wear one tonight at the Six Organs show and blow everyones mind.

    I thought this has been trendy among the "freak folk" scene for a while now? They look more native american style to me, unless I'm thinking of something different.

  4. are you saying jesus DIDN'T wear leather headbands? or that he stole the style from Native Americans, maybe when he visited them and made them mormons, or whatever the book of mormon says

    Jesus WAS a Mormon. He was born a Mormon and Mary was a Mormon. And then Mormonism was lost for nearly 2000 years until Joseph Smith found the golden tablets.

    You Jews love to claim Jesus, just like the Italians like to claim discovering America.

    Am I nuts, or is JC usually not depicted wearing a headband? Unless by headband you mean crown of thorns.

    It's a little known fact that JC actually sported a terry cloth headband *and* matching sweatbands on his wrists.

  14. I thought Jesus always wore a glowing neon green headband that matched his wrist bands and that shot out squiggly yellow lines that were so bright, you couldn't really see the rest of him. Oh no wait, I'm thinking of Mark Knopfler.

    I thought Jesus wore all black & played guitar really loud. Oh wait, that's the Jesus & Mary Chain.

  16. maybe jesus wore headbands to hold back his dreads and so they wouldn't get tangled up in his stunna shades

    I won't really be impressed until stomping around town in a loin cloth becomes the new beard, headband, corduroy, etc. Now that's a statement.

    Question: Does this thread contain the first ever Mark Knopfler reference on Heckasac?

    It's the Jesus look? Because when I was shopping at Beamen's Closet back in May, the friend I was with kept complaining about how the Native American headband look was this summer's trucker hat.

    does this argument really matter? can we just get back to talking about the arena and how desperately we need it?

    It's time

    Build it, and they will come.

  28. I'm pretty sure Jesus hella wore a big furry hat with flaps. Just like Ignatius J. Reilly.

    I still wear my trucker hats or my straw farmer hat and i do have a yakuza hat that i wore a couple times but got crazy looks.We don`t have sweatbands here just towels instead>>> around the neck or tied on the head are popular in japan in the summer(it`s humid).Tough Boys also love Hair Clips and those other things that pull all your hair straight back.I like drunken dudes with towels as the towel gives them extra super powers.Don`t mess with a drunken guy with a towel that especially looks like he works in a Ramen shop.They always look hecka pissed and are very sweaty.Yakuza hats are big circle shape that looks like grandma can toss clean toss in it.There pretty cool...jay
