Mom threw me out ’til I get some pants that fit.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Wearing the right jeans at the right time have long been a crucial element to rock ‘n roll stardom. It may have been a passage from Clinton Heylin<\/strong>‘s excellent oral history of proto-punk, From the Velvets to the Voidoids<\/em>, that’s stuck with me all these years, but I recall cracking up at a comment by David Thomas<\/strong> of Pere Ubu regarding his inability to ever fit into cool jeans, not to mention his parents’ complete lack of interest in keeping him dressed in the current Levi’s fashion trends. He was talking about the humorous teen angst behind “Final Solution” when he bemoanded an adolescence stuck wearing the “BoBo” brand Big Yank<\/strong> jeans. As we knew then, as we know now, some brands don’t cut it in rock ‘n roll.<\/p>\n

To ease the development process for aspiring young rockers as well as to revisit and perhaps gain closure on some of our denim growing pains<\/strong>, I thought it might be helpful to conduct a frank, candid forum on The Do<\/em>s and Don’t<\/em>s of Rock Jeans<\/strong>.
