So..I was talking with my girlfriend last night...reminiscing about when we first met years ago....She said something to the effect of " when we first met you were this and that...and now you've turned into a greaser" I nearly fell of the couch I was laughing so hard. I was sure to slick it up nice to good for her today. Ha Jerry
A buddy of mine in a Rockabilly band told me one time that Rockabilly & Hotrods where like a Punk Rock retirement program.
Or something old skaters do (like me) when we get to old and out of shape to skate all the time. Still kick it a little on the mini ramp in the back yard tho'.
That's funny... you didn't look too greasy to me when I met you last week! LOL At least you had the sense to not come back at her with something like, "Oh yeah, well when we met you were 10 lbs skinnier!".
so define a greaser... is it just the hair, or do you need to cuff your pants and hang your wallet on a chain too? what kind of pants are required?
In south fla. in the 50's and early 60's when I started being a greaser,it was the car nuts in high school with,Butchwax duck-wings or stick up flat-top and sideburns with dark grease under your fingernails from working on your car. OHH **** I'm still a greaser!!!
HAHAHAHA. Yeah. see that much is okay, but I think its pretty silly and it pisses me off a bit when it is a GOTH retirement plan. I see it SO MUCH, Goth kids get tired of the trendyness of safty pins and faded black clothing and decide the next level of their trendyness is to be ""ROCKABILLY""".
everybody is a poseur, even me... but at least i can build a hot rod, unlike 90% of the punk rockers, skaters, goths, rockabillies, greasers, rat rodders, out there i see at the shows.... thats why i kinda hate going to shows now. everybody has been into this sh-t since the 50's even though they were born in 1980. it seems like alot of skinheads are into now too, guess its not cool to hate minorities anymore. not to hijack this thread but how the hell did roller girls get hooked up with the car scene? i'm not complaining... some of them are pretty hot but i just don't understand it. ahhhh F everybody i'm going to work on my car. sorry for the rant, the mrs. and i just split after 7 years and 2 kids.
That's the paradox of my child hood. I've never managed to figure out how Night Rider was cool, but Camaros and Firebirds are lame. If I try to think about it I just get a headache and p*** out.
