Two American Originals – Part 2
Overheard on the shore of North Point Beach, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Two men in their middle forties discussing the state of American Rock culture as it relates to the scene before them as they lounged on the boardwalk overlooking volleyball pits and pristine sand beaches on a bright and warm, summer day.
Lounger 1: “Yeah, remember Motley Crew and Poison? There was some great stuff!”
Lounger 2: “No doubt. That was some great music. Nothing like what happens today…”
Lounger 1: “That’s for sure. I mean, look at the crap you see on guys today. They wear makeup! I know this one guy – he’s a welder and he wears makeup! Look at that guy down there, geaze! Colored hair and eye makeup. What’s the world coming to? I bet that guy doesn’t wear makeup when he goes to work with other welders. But all his friends are wearing it. Unbelievable!”
