But sure, why not.

But what if it said, Keep Calm and Listen to Oasis or Beady Eye?

I do have to say, awesome sentiment that I agree with 100%, but those "keep calm" posters (and t-shirts, and mugs, and jockstraps, and limited edition jockstrap mugs, and so on) are indeed rather ubiquitous and trendy these days. I would have figured British folks would be even more annoyed. I figured an American going to the UK with a "Keep Calm" t-shirt would be right up there with asking whether your commemorative Charles and Diana plates you bought at the grocery store in the 80's are worth five grand or ten grand.

General rule: If it's available at "Hot Topic", I'm probably annoyed by it. Great, Doctor Who and My Little Pony are now hipster, trendy fake-nerdy now.

Still waiting for any BB shirts at Hot Topic; I might actually buy one of those!  LOL

Best use of this sentiment I've seen and I was pleased to see AGD getting thanks from Brian for it.

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.

Yeah, it's everywhere in the UK, and has been from it's inception [well, discovery].

On a side note relating to your post, I did go to a Hot Topic while I was in america, and bought some bits simply because I was interested and, you know, exchange rate is pretty damn good.

I'll certainly give you credit there... I hardly know many people that actually know Beady Eye exist. Regardless, that doesn't change the sentiment Grin It's still telling me to keep calm

Yes it's getting to be a tired meme but....

On rare occasions when I am in a bad mood, sad, down...whatever.....often I do listen to Pet Sounds.

Because I find that Pet Sounds contains just about every emotion known to mankind, and that 40 minutes can help me get to the roots of my emotions. If a particular lyric or mood hits me more than usual, I know just which emotion is in need of attention.

So yeah....keep calm and listen to Pet Sounds.....as posted on Brian's facebook page yesterday.

World War Two poster that was never issued in large numbers.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591
