Tight-crotched bootcut blue jeans, thick leather belt with huge Schlitz logo buckle, and custom Ford Econoline van conversion not included. Accessorizes well with homemade bongs, bottles of Annie Green Springs, and a handful of Quaaludes swiped from your parents' medicine chest. Impress your friends at the high school parking lot, the pump 'n' munch on the main drag, or the woods behind the rendering plant.
The F.U.'s - We're an American Band (from My America, 1983) - More of a sincere tribute to the Grand Funksters than a punk rock piss take, which makes sense considering the Boston hardcore outfit's (tongue-in-cheek yet controversial) rightward political slant at the time.

I had about a dozen t-shirts from that company- T.Rex, Rundgren, Zappa, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Elton, Cat Stevens, Uriah Heep...that may have been all, I forget...
Oops, hit "submit" before I was done! Anyway, I also was gonna say that they used to have a two-page center spread in CREEM magazine for years and years, and that's where I first became aware of them...
Now that you mention it, I can vaguely remember those Creem ads. I need to find the rest of my stack of old issues of the mag.
This ad came from Young Love #112 -- one of my go-to sources for lazy post material.
You know, if you still have any of those shirts, you could sell them to Japanese hipster clothing stores for a mint.
