You Rock, Dude
My advance apologies to any faithful readers who own a tie like this.The guy who buys these ties is thinking, "Hey, man. Just 'cause I wear a suit doesn't mean I'm not a rebel....man!" He's got a foot in both worlds and the kids in the office will respect him because he's a cool boss. He is the same guy who keeps a shiny pair of his and hers Harleys in the garage for Sunday rides in full leather tough-guy costume, headscarf mandatory. (Not a headscarf fashioned from a bandana, which is what a headscarf is supposed to be, but a pre-cut, pre-tied headscarf with a Harley logo on it.)
The kids in the office are thinking, "What a dork," or whatever kids call dorks these days.
Speaking of old rockers not being cool, check out Ross Halfin's excellently brutal synopsis of a recent Stones concert in London. "Dire...lifeless...dreadful...awful."

I would love a Zepp sound chip in that thing.

I love that if you buy $50 worth of ties they'll send you a classical music CD free! Just the thing the Hendrix tie wearing guy wants in his stocking.

There are so many articles of clothing like this.
Grateful Dead ties (even worse than Zep, because they say "after following the Dead around for 5 years, I finally gave it up and went into Daddy's business, DeadHeads being almost universally from wealthy families and all that)
T-shirts that say "Do I Look Like I Give A Crap?" or "Bitch" or "I'm With Stupid" or any other crude or unfunny statement.
Anything featuring Garfield the cat
Ties with Looney Tunes characters on them, a favorite of IT guys, for some reason.
I could, as you can tell, go on forever with this list.

You could wear it ironically with a trucker hat and a pair of GAP jeans.
