    Default Funniest shirt in the history of the Blues

    Man, someone must have told good ole Freddie that his collars are always too small, so he came back with this monster

    Well, it was the 70s . . . Having said that, I think that collar could provide enough lift even to get a big guy like him off the ground.

    Oh, did you notice the shirt's print, with the guitar pattern?

    I wonder where that Gibson is now..?

    One would hope it is being played, probably has a lot of stories to tell....

    On an unrelated note -- take a look at his picking style. All fingers and thumbs, and what a great tone! Awesome.

    great collar! In a strange reverse way, they kind of match his sideburns. Great playing! I have not listened to nearly enough of good ol' Freddie.

    Careful, you may tickle the Swedes among us...!

    Other: Actually, I had to look up "Pleasantville", as some references to old sitcoms don't click. The plot of the movie seems interesting.
