Hybridization of Rock, Geek and Car Culture

Too bad the artist didn’t get this out in time for Back to the Future‘s 25th anniversary. Hell, I’m still wishing I had the time and gumption to see the trilogy last Summer at Alamo Ritz because Christopher Lloyd was the surprise guest!

To many car buffs and even amateur Pop-Culture experts, the Rat Fink character is well-known. With everyone else, it’s probably familiar but they can’t put their metaphorical finger on the reason why. Either way, this shirt Jeremy bought for his dad is very amusing regardless of the context.

The Doctor Who revival carries on with a vengeance by combining four of the actors (from left to right: Matt Smith, Paul McGann, Tom Baker and David Tennant) as the loudest band to hit the airwaves in the mid Sixties. They have much in common too. Despite their numerous farewell tours and losing two members, The Who keep regenerating interest in flogging a dead horse.

It’s nice to see the artist using Paul McGann as the stand-in for Roger Daltry even though the other three bear no resemblance to John Entwhistle, Pete Townshend and Keith Moon. Personally, a younger-looking/modified Jon Pertwee would’ve been more effective but I think McGann deserves a little slack. As flawed as the Fox movie was, he did a decent job given what he had to work with.
