Hanging out with a friend in Kingston the other day. Friend has no idea about music whatsoever.
I wore a Melvins shirt, and explained NOBODY EVER in our small town has ever noticed my Melvins shirt in 20 years, but when I'm downtown Toronto I get a few comments and thumbs up etc. from people off the street for wearing one.
We had parked and just crossed the road, making our way down a side street. No sooner as we're halfway down the block, a random dude sitting out on the patio of a local pub gives me an ALRIGHT!! 'MELVINS!!!' Thumbs up, right on!! comment!! as I passed him.
"Cheers" I said.
My friend was most impressed.

Thank you Melvins for lending me some wicked awesome Street cred.
