i am reminded of this every time i enter a social type environment.

i own exactly one (1) black "Public Enemy" shirt

and one (1) solid black tee.

and a pair of black dickies that i've gotten too fat to wear anymore.

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,

Why you never see bright colors on my back,

And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.

Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

 

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,

Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,

I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,

But is there because he's a victim of the times.

 

I wear the black for those who never read,

Or listened to the words that Jesus said,

About the road to happiness through love and charity,

Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

 

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,

In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,

But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,

Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

 

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,

For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,

I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,

Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

 

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,

Believen' that the Lord was on their side,

I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,

Believen' that we all were on their side.

 

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,

And things need changin' everywhere you go,

But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,

You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

 

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,

And tell the world that everything's OK,

But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,

'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

i had to wear black from head to toe at my last job at a design place. so now that i don't work there i'm wearing an inordinate amount of obnoxious colors such as sorbet orange, lime green, pinks, purples and everything in between.

 

however when i want to go out i almost always wear a black shirt as i'm 'top heavy' and need to tone it down a bit.

no funeral jokes?

 

word. suppose i figured all you hipster graff nerds would be professing undying loyalty to an all black wardrobe.

 

and word to it being too hot to wear black anyway.

I saw chuck in some liquor store around my mom's neighbor hood in the suburbs in the 303, which by the was is so far away from where id expect to see anyone famous. Anyway, I sort of recognised him, but sorta not, he was being real loud and so was his hype man (not flava) and the shop owner was getting stressed. But then his homie was like "Yo! Chill out! Do you know who this is? Its Chuck D!" and I was like huh, it sure is.
