I felt that way sometimes, walking to the stage with my guitar.

  5. You should have been around in the 1960s when hippies first wore jeans in public, no longer work pants for factories. And then it became about having holes or rips in them, or painted and embroidered, or cut-offs.

  8.  @otal0721  I know Proper English, that's something. The greatest of all time is a historic saying, calling someone a GOAT isn't. For real words, calling someone a goat is usually part of being an old goat.

  9. Being late is the start of being unprofessional as an appearance.
