All-American, my ass. Last pair I bought were made in Vietnam. The pair before that came from China.

Besides, who cares? Just don't buy 'em. If the Lennon ones don't sell, they'll quit making them.

Didn't say they were made here, just another personal icon going down in flames.

John Lennon Chuck Taylors...aye chinga.

Plan9 is right, you can buy a Chevy that was hecho en Mexico, a Ford made in Canada or you can buy a Toyota made in California, a Honda made in Kentucky. It's all a big tangled global mish-mosh.

As for shoes you can buy, Nike, Addidas, Rebock, etc. All made offshore and all un-stylish. Might as well buy "Chucks" and have a little style. Hell, I don't think they even make Vans in the US anymore.

They need to fire their marketing department...or lower the two drink minimum.

John Lennon inspired Birkenstocks would sell much better. Bundle it with a bottle of patchouli oil and a free Volvo test drive. Then test market it to all the paid 'volunteer' trust fund babies with mental disorders who will be protesting at the upcoming Republican Convention just down the way from Madison Avenue.

John Lennon was an America-hating commie atheist.

I think its disgusting that a piece of 20th century Americana is being bastardized in this vile manner, already on top of the humility of being produced by 3rd world slave labor.

Hell, they could have American made robots make those shoes... in America, as they are pretty low-tech as far as footwear goes. Nawww, they'd rather use that space to throw up a Wal Mart and a Starbucks to hock more cheap Chinese products.

Hehe...maybe John Lennon clothing will become the new Von Dutch who is the new Che Guevara.

Man, talk about hatred! Some of you guys take the cake. The Beatles came along in my Jr. High years. They were THE group to listen to. They inspired many musicians and Lennon and McCartney were great song writters. Their music will live on forever. Lennon the next VonDutch? Perhaps, we was also a great artist. I admired Lennen for what he contributed not for his beliefs.
Perhaps it's your kind of hatred that led to his death.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

08-25-2004, 05:27 PM
Lennon made it clear that he also didn't give a damn if all you loyal listeners were pissed that the beatles broke up. Mebbe THAT'S what caused his death.

If you bought them in the US in the last 6 or 7 years they probably aren't made in the UK...

I,[like Donzie]- cant stand by and let the Beatles [as a group]'S name be put in the dirt...lets just pay attention in five years young fellows and see if ONE single STUPID sumbitch remembers all the talented musicians of the generation that NOW thinks they started and founded it all. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
also I didnt agree with hardly any of John Lennons ideas for the record...... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
and in closing I have to wonder whats wrong with a society that has so many heroes with so little in the way of credentials. To me a ballplayer is just that- nothing more.....but his or any other "role model" can seriously sell some fuckin shoes by sticking their name on em... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

blame Nike, they bought Converse a short while back. but you'd have to be an american hating pinko commie to have known about it.

hang on to the ones you got, they'll be the next big E levi's. or is it little e? what the fuck do i know? i don't buy anything that dont got von dutch on it.

<font color="green"> After the wedding? They done got hitched? Where the fuck was my
invi-fuckin-tation? Oh well, I'm too anti-social to get there anyway.

Think I'm gonna sell my cars and move to Mexico (Meh-hee-koe). Big titties
and margaritas, tuberculosis, death. Muerta. Pissed off El Camino drivers
with big ass knives. As with all good things, shit flows down hill.

Maybe and Australian stockbroker will kidnap (sack) me and take me to the
Unterland where I‘ll wear (where, oh, wear) leighterhosen and drink Foster
from a shovel. As long as there aren’t any truckers I’ll be fine. The
outback is mine, Jack.

Cheese eatin French fuckers have taken everything that once belonged to my
friends in Kiwiland. That’s north of the bridge.

Japanese women are hot. I think they’d like a big, fat American slobbering
all over them. Especially when they’re asleep. They don’t show pubic hair
there. It’s a nation of shame. I didn’t even know there were Catholics in
Japan land. They like panties. Who doesn’t?

Fuck Tokyo. Not Tuck and Tokyo. Friends. The city.
