Kylie Joins The Meteors

Recently Kylie was seen sporting a Meteors t-Shirt (I did check the setlist from the gig but unfortunately she didn't do a cover of Wreckin' Crew).  A couple of years ago Angelina was snapped in a Crass t-shirt.  I’m not sure how I feel about this.

For me personally I wouldn’t be seen dead wearing a t-shirt of a band that I did not like.  It’s me saying, yes I’m a fan and I love this band.  You can talk to me about the band and we can have a knowledgeable conversation about them.  Unlike Tim Lovejoy on Soccer AM when Martin Freeman asked about his Ramones t-shirt:-

Martin: “Is that a Ramones T-shirt Tim?”
Lovejoy: “Er, yes.”
Martin “Do you actually know any Ramones songs?”
Lovejoy: (silence)
Martin: “Can you name two albums?”
Lovejoy: “Er, no.”
Martin: “Thought not.”
I would imagine that some of these celebs may actually be fans.  And if not so what?? It provides a bit of exposure that certainly bands like the Meteors probably would not be in a position to afford to pay for.  So as annoying as I find it when some 'b' list celeb appears in the press trying to look cool in MY Clash t-shirt there is a part of me that shrugs my shoulders and thinks just go out and buy the records you knucklehead, and earn our respect.
And just in case you are not sure who Crass are Angelina, enjoy:-
