TyWebb User ID: 5275899 United States 02/27/2012 08:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	I'm going to see Van Halen at MSG. What the hell does a middle-aged guy wear to a rock concert? So here I am, as unrebel as a man can be. Almost 40. Married. 3 young kids. Suburban house with the suffocating mortgage. I haven't donned a jean jacket in nearly two decades. None of my jeans have holes, and if they did, I would relegate the former staples of Friday night drinking to landscaping duty. The closest thing I get to these days to giving the finger to the man is PayPalling RP a few dollars for a MoneyBomb. I am sold out, bought out, tired out, and more or less subsumed by the Borg. All this, and I have been invited to MSG for Van Halen. Amazing seats. So what do I, dazzling urbanite, wear? Khakis and a button down? Someone would hopefully kick my ass. Jeans and a sweater? I would need to kick my own ass. But that's my wardrobe, more or less. The Slayer jacket, the laceless hi-tops, these are all 20 years in the trash. What do I do?

Buy some nice jeans that are somewhat stylish but that you would wear again, no need to waste money and find a cool looking t-shirt. If you have any old t's of your favorite band(s), wear that. Oh, and have fun!

Why would you do it man? Why would you go to some dried out band's concert?? It's just stupid. Maybe 20 years ago... But now? Not cool anymore man, not cool.

Just wait until you get there and see what some of those middle-aged women are wearing.
