You mean like the old Seinfeld episode "People think I'm gay ecause I'm neat and thin"
"McQueen's message was signaled through subtraction... in a tweed or herringbone jacket and a ribbed swearer he had an electric austerity".

Re: West Coast Cool: Cal Tjader
I'm fit and healthy too, it's just not come up in conversation as it were.
Incidentally, re. full cut shirts: imo it's all in the rise i.e. it looks good with high rise trousers. Since going ivy I've gone from slim mod/skin shirts to Makers and Mercer, although I'm slim enough to look good in slim fit shirts I think my move has been an improvement. (I think I said all this on a shirt based thread recently, apologies for the repetition.)

Re: West Coast Cool: Cal Tjader
I'm sorry, people are writing things like 'zone', 'muscular' and 'rep'.
Are obscene words like that allowed on this forum?
Where did Cal Tjader go in all this...

Re: West Coast Cool: Cal Tjader
Has he got some kind of weird lapel there or is it just a trick of the light?

Re: West Coast Cool: Cal Tjader
What a fantastic line up. It really is a Latin Super Group...

Re: West Coast Cool: Cal Tjader
That super group was captured live on Cal's 1959 album, Latin Concert on Verve. Superb.
And a great album cover of the band as cartoon characters in a bull ring surrounded by fans.

Re: West Coast Cool: Cal Tjader
I don't know, I like the vibrant colours and the layout. Same with the one with the caricature Mexicans and the cactus tree in the shade. I don't see it as being deliberately offensive. But not having the real band members on there, is of course, an unforgiveable omission.

Re: West Coast Cool: Cal Tjader
Why is it wrong to stereotype and misrepresent the band but ok to do the same to the audience, or more specifically the Puerto Rican and Cuban elements of the audience?

Re: West Coast Cool: Cal Tjader
I think you're trying to compensate for/protest against perceived notions of political correctness and/or double standards on the forum by making provocative statements. I'm used to your making statements you stand by (except for those in obvious jest) so I take them at face value.
I have no problem with the concept of joking about taboo subjects, but in reality it often fails to work, e.g. having a picture of someone responsible for genocide as an avator.
