Welcome to the Jungle
There is a guy I see most days on the GO. If he is facing you, he looks like a reasonably respectable young business person. I wouldn’t call his dress overly fashionable, but about average and age appropriate. Once he turns around, however, the story changes dramatically. On the back of his casual denim coat is a GIANT GUNS N’ ROSES PATCH. At first I was a little taken back by this development. Was this a joke? Is it Halloween? Does he wear this to work? Does his boss write it off assuming he is just a passionate GNR enthusiast and thus fits within corporate objectives of encouraging enthusiasm among all employees?
Confused, I forgave him for his blatant act of lameness and told myself this is a one-off situation. I mean, it’s not like he has another, different jacket with another GIANT GNR patch on the back………
HE DOES.
Today he was wearing a different jacket. Casual. Leather. Respectable from the front, Axl Rose alllllllllllllllll up in the back. This is the clothing equivalency to the mullet. Nothing else about this guy suggests he is a metal head. No piercings, hip length hair, bandanas, cowboy boots. Completely normal, except for giant patch. Right. Is this guy for real?
