What’s Your Oldest Concert T-Shirt?

If you're an old school rocker, especially if you're man, there's probably a crusty old concert t-shirt sitting in a box somewhere in your garage. Sooner or later, your better half will try to convince you to throw that dirty old shirt away.

And that's when you will remind her that, even though your old concert t-shirt is two sizes too small, covered in holes and smells a little musky, it can't be thrown away. Because it's a sacred souvenir of your glory days.

This week, I posed a question on my Facebook page, asking friends about the oldest concert t-shirts they own. Here's some of the comments.
