    Pop Culture...

     



    Not too long ago there was theread on CHR about Hot Rod fashion...

    Since that time there has been an amazing ocurrence in the Popular fashion world surrounding a "Hot Rod" culture Icon... It seems that it is now the newest fashon trend for the hip celebrity types to sport vintage looking "Rod Wear" styled clothing that is high priced and branded with the pen name of arguably one of Hot Roddings most legendary figures...

    I wonder if folks like Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Beyoncé Knowles or Ricky Martin even have the slightest clue of the importance the name on their caps and shirts has in "our world"... I doubt it, probably just another brand to them...

    Somehow, I can imagine Kenneth Howard rolling over in his grave...

    What do you guys think?..

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
