What's this about a SpaghettiOs t-shirt?

Post by Homesick »

I just read the following on MTV.com:
Lady Gaga's Meat Suit Voted Most Outrageous Fashion Choice Of All Time
[...]
Howard Stern's Fartman costume and Tommy Lee's trench-coat-and-sneakers combination were next, followed by Soul Asylum frontman Dave Pirner's SpaghettiO's T-shirt
Does anyone know the story behind this?

I know he wore a Spaghetti-O's t shirt and ripped jeans to an MTV Video Music Awards show sometime back in the 90's.

I'm not entirely sure but I also want to say it is/was on display in a case at the Minneapolis Hard Rock Cafe (which is across the street from First Avenue).

Well, I never thought I'd see Dave and Lady Gaga in the same story.

I talked to Dave about that shirt, he said he loved that shirt, and one night at a show, it was missing, he later on found it at the Hard Rock cafe in Minneapolis, He said he was pissed and asked about them about it, asking why they had to steal it, and that he would have gave them something else like a guitar if they would have just ask. I guess they tried giving it back, but Dave said they could just keep it, it was the fact that someone stole it, then to make it worst, they wrote something in the paper or posted something about him going in there acting up about it.. Im going to Minneapolis in two weeks, i might have to stop by there a take a look

His original Spaghetti-O's shirt was white, but yeah, that was the first time he wore the shirt shown (at the Viper Alley show). It still had the tags on it and everything. In fact they even played part of Coldplay's song Yellow (due to the shirt color) because Dave had just put the shirt on in the middle of the set. :P

Hey, that was my shirt. I gave it to him either before or after a show, I was wearing it and he loved it and I just happened to have another shirt in my bag so I changed & gave it to him. It was white and I bought it in Atlanta. I can't remember where the show was, we used to see them in NYC mostly but did to road trips back then. They were touring with Thelonious Monster.

He didn't want to take it but I insisted. The next thing I knew he wore it on I think MTV award show. That was pretty cool.

I guess he has a thing for Spaghettios. :)
