If my Saturday mornings as a kid were defined by watching cartoons, my Saturday mornings these days are defined by being hung over while watching VH-1 Classic’s Metal Mania (except when That Metal Show is unfortunately airing). So there’s a nice bit of world-colliding going on here as I watch Dio’s “Holy Diver” (it’s on every other Metal Mania episode, so it’s bound to come up by the time I hit “publish”), raise a cauldron to yesterday’s fourth anniversary of the metal singer’s death, and stumble across the latest in the music/pop-culture mix-up shirts.
And this one’s even better than the Smiths’ Will vs Moz, Blur/Oasis, and Iggy Pop and Lou Reed shirts we’ve posted about recently…
Ladies and gentlemen, Cheers actress Rhea Perlman as Dio.
That’s what 30 years of marriage to Danny DeVito will do to you. This is not news.
But it is a shirt. Though we ask you to chill, holy buyer, we have no idea if it’s for sale or not; we found it on Josh Newton’s Instagram this working, via Doug Sherman of Gozu.
The Smiths’ shirt apparently sold like hotcakes, and we imagine this one will, too. Just stay away from Chuck Klosterman.
