Little rock n roll story.
A few years ago I was in a liquor fueled band called Original Sin. We did original blues rock n boogie in the vein of Red Devils.
For one of the tours I invited Brian Robertson (Thin Lizzy, Motörhead, Frankie Miller) to join us as a special guest on this little tour across The Netherlands.
Robbo is an avid flip flop fan. He wears black shiny leather Gucci flip flops. Day and night.
This little tour was in the wintertime. We drove back from a gig (in Purmerend I think) and it was freezing outside. We were in my oldtimer Mercedes 250 from 1968 with Robbo in the backseat. Inebriated. My girlfriend Floor was driving. Sober. All of a sudden we started spinning. The tarmac was completely iced over. She had no control over the car. We came to a stop in the verge which was covered by a thick layer a fresh snow. No damage done.
But we couldn't get the car out, back on the highway. We had to step out and push it back on the tarmac.
So there was Robbo on his flip flops, in the snow, freezing his toes off (and what not), trying to push the old Mercedes out of the verge, slipping and falling, cursing and swearing in his thick Scottish accent...
So that's why I think flip flops are VERY rock n roll.
