White Stripes "Detroit Blues" Guitar Rock Men's T-Shirt

This cult garage rock t-shirt obscurity is bound to confound some of you blues hounds... there's no doubt in the water that "The Big Three Killed My Baby"... so you must be asking yo'self a few nagging questions... What's the Big Three?... Who's his baby?... Are they really gonna kill that dog?

Well my pretties, don't fret... the canine lived... but 'my baby' died like a dog!

Jack White of The White Stripes may have been talking political-punk about the fall of the Detroit automakers labor unions in the 1960's... but I'm talking about hot rods... road beef... chrome fire... death machines... street sleepers... American Muscle (C-A-R-S)!

The Big Three... at the time known as Ford, Chrysler and General Motors... pro-actively killed the muscle car in the 1970's! Yeah, you heard me... they intentionally killed our baby!

You see, it was discovered that these super fast street rods were getting people killed in large quantities of mass mangled metal destruction... 'cuz if you give a man an aggressive looking and most powerful car... he will drive it aggressively and abuse that power until his soul is ONE with the beast!! Hallelujah!!!

That's why you don't see the awesome looking 1969 Camaro... the Super Judge... the Duster... the Chevelle... the Smokey and The Bandit Trans Am Firebird... the Charger R/T... the Challenger/SS... and pretty much any other cool looking muscle car (with a Hemi engine) anymore... they've been outlawed... literally killed off!

Personally, we don't feel that was their call to make... if I wanna die in my car, smoking a cigarette and racing like a bat out of hell... that should be my choice... can I get an AMEN?!? AMEN!!

Now let's get this right... this shirt ain't talking about one car in particular... it's in reference to ANY of the classic hot rods that are now so coveted, collected and driven like the over-priced antiques they've now become... so I suppose we should have called this t-shirt "The Big Three Killed My Babies"... but that would open an even wider angle of dismay (which mighta been kinda cool for a rock t-shirt)!

But I digress... Detroit was one helluva place back in the 1970's... seriously killer rock music and fast cars was the only agenda... with bands like The Stooges... Cactus... MC5... Alice Cooper... Grand Funk Railroad... Frijid Pink... Ted Nugent... Glen Frey and The Eagles and The Bob Seger System... it's no wonder the White Stripes are the bombastic blues rock bombers of Detroit Rock City these days...they're coming from some serious ( !SERIOUS! ) rock and roll lineage!!

Gimme a plate of heavy distortion, with a fat side of feedback, and a big black bottle of overdrive!!

So whether you wanna pick your politics from your favorite White Stripes albums... like "De Stijl" (2000)... "White Blood Cells" (2001)... "Elephant" (2003) or "Icky Thump" (2007)... or you just wanna side with us and tell people this creepy blues t-shirt means good riddance to the mega-death-auto-industry that ruthlessly killed the muscle car... or you simply wanna wear this funny retro cult tshirt because the idea of someone shooting a dog in the head will completely freak everyone out!!!

Well, we actually like all three of those ideas... so I guess it just boils down to which day-of-the-week it is... I'll tell you this much though... when we're draggin' the strip in our old Kustom Kulture hot rod... it's always Saturday night on the mainline!! So cool... the tattoos just appear naturally.

Rock On...
