“It’s not a political thing for me,” MacKaye says. “I just don’t give a fuck about T-shirts.”
Urban Outfitters Sells Minor Threat T-Shirts, Ian MacKaye Responds – Arts Desk
Hey, look, teens of America: You can buy a kewl Minor Threat T-shirt for $28 at Urban Outfitters.
Hear something? That’s the sound of a 45-year-old punk rocker punching a wall.
But wait just a second before you start groping for the lever on the ol’ outrage machine. Turns out the T-shirt is not a bootleg like that Forever 21 design from 2009; it’s licensed through Tsurt, a California-based company that Ian MacKaye and Co. hired to produce and oversee sales of the band’s official shirts.
