But I'm sure Eddie Vedder will be remembered in a very Springsteen-esque way.
Alright, I get your point. I just don't understand why people feel the need to speculate what they could have done with more time to put out music if that makes sense. Artists that stay around even after they reached their creative peaks should be remembered in the same light if not better, as long as they don't obviously sell out. At least IMO.Quote:

LOL, fair point... girls where I live pretty much all wear jeans. I asked my female friend why she wears skinny jeans and she said for the obvious reasons of getting guys to look at her... It's interesting that girls try much harder to get guys to look at them... but it's the guy who always pursues a relationship, or at least that's the stereotype.Quote:

Maybe that's part of it... It might also have to do with the fact that I live in a semi cold and wet climate... making shorts and skirts not an option for majority of the year. Yoga pants are very popular as well, for girls that is haha...Quote:
