It's > funny as hell to see a city dwellers wearing cowboy boots and cowboy hats > too! maybe > it just me though :^) It's funny....because I don't really laugh when I see white working class kids wearing "black working class gear," though I do cringe when I see white upper class kids wearing "black working class gear." I guess because I realized that a lot of the people in Detroit DO have money....I didn't see it as "faking the funk" so to speak (or would that be "the anti-funk?")...... peace lks
