Typical

Larry's complaining about pants, which, by my estimation, puts him about six months away from starting to bitch about young peoples' music being too loud or the price of the specials at the supper club, but I can sympathize with his gripes about cheap Levi's.

I bought two new pairs about three months ago. I was wearing one of them yesterday while zipping up after a wee in the studio bathroom. The zipper became unattached from the opposing tooth rail and I couldn't get it back on track (see photo below). Well I still have my dignity so I left to go back home and change pants, only the luthier is only two exits down so I figured I'd head over there first to pick up my guitar. I did a sort of neat fold in the crotch and pulled my sweatshirt down low so as not to give the shop a free show. Needless to say, as soon as I walked in I realized the barn door was wide open for anyone who wanted a peek. And of course, the guitar wasn't even ready.

Which is all besides the point. I got the jeans on sale (half price to be exact), but still. What cheap crap! I am hopping mad! The frustrating thing is, I've been wearing button fly jeans for years - I only bought some zippered pairs because I was tired of the button holes getting bigger over time with use and leaving me semi-exposed. I've been wearing Levis' since I was a little boy but I am seriously considering changing brands.

And that's what I have to say about pants!
