MMJ & Fans = Lumberjacks?

[kydiddle]

MMJ is not the focus of this article, but since they are mentioned I thought I would post it. I had to scoff at the writer's mockery of the 'lumberjack look' of the fans. Not that her opinion matters, but way to take the focus off the music and point it towards something silly like the appearance of the band and their fans.

P.S. Beards are awesome.

I am so wearing plaid the next time I see them.

Maybe some overalls, too. I'll leave the axe at home. . .maybe.

I am so wearing plaid the next time I see them.

Me too, but I always wear a flannel shirt.

So I offer a humble bit of advice: Young college grad of refined musical tastes, you're not a lumberjack. When is the last time you've climbed a tree, let alone chopped one down?

Actually yesterday. I live in WV. Still not a lumberjack though. Though I thought about it. It's just that I get poison ivy super bad. Yeah.

Plaid flannel or no plaid, right?

Seriously, this is why I don't read Spin. Gettin' all pretentious on pretense itself. Damn.

[lasvegas]

i can only eat the whole lumberjack breakfast if i drank less than 25 PBR's the night before.

if not, sausage, bacon and canadian ham is too much.

Haha I am a girl, and in no way dress like a lumberjack. Anyway, the boys of MMJ started dressing that way before the ridiculous trend began.....wait, tell me why this topic is even important? We have a revolutionary election going on, Hannah Montana's taking over America; we've got issues with mainstream music, and the only thing Spin can find to blog about is lumberjacks?

Well I come from a long line
Of tree falling men
And this company town was here
Before my grandpappy settled in
We kept enough trees a-standin'
So our kids could tow the line
But now a big corporation came and bought us out
Got us working overtime


But tell me
Where are we gonna work
When the trees are gone
Will the big boss have us wash his car
Or maybe mow his lawn
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a lumberjack man
But I hear it ain't for long
Where are we gonna work
When the trees are gone?

Now these corporate mergers
Make no sense to me
But they got this junk bond debt to pay
So we're clear-cutting all the trees
Now that old fishin' hole
Where I used to take my son
We trashed it out last Monday morn
Oh Lord, what have we done

But tell me
Where are we gonna work
When the trees are gone
Will the big boss have us wash his car
Or maybe mow his lawn
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a lumberjack man
But I hear it ain't for long
Where are we gonna work
When the trees are gone?

Now these Wall Street money men
They got me MAD
I've got a family to feed and falling trees
Is the only job I ever had
Say now folks, we just can't stad here
While this slash and burn goes on
We've got to slow down this big corporation
Before all the trees are gone

But tell me
Where are we gonna work
When the trees are gone
Will the big boss have us wash his car
Or maybe mow his lawn
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a lumberjack man
But I hear it ain't for long
Where are we gonna work
When the trees are gone?

Never before was there ever a chainsaw so poignantly employed with a rock and roll song. Never shall there ever be again.

I'm bringing an axe to the next show.

Well said. This article is just stupid. She's talking about people that have full beards. Stop.  :o

Full beards and a love for the warmth that only a good plaid flannel can provide. Not too thin, but not too thick. They just don't make those things in a non-plaid option. The pattern does make them hard to lose it in the laundry, and that's a bonus. Plus, they just look good.

And since when did lumberjacks have shoulder-length or longer hair?
