No. Not Can. But Could, certainly.

Well ... Can, too. Sort of.

As a fund-raiser a little while back T-Shirts were printed and sold. It ended up being a pain (turns out doing actual commerce takes time, energy, a commitment to schedules, etc), so no additional shirts have been printed.

Strangely though I still have one available. A Large. Printed on quality American Apparel cotton shirt. It has some cat hair on it.

For the low low price of $25, plus $5 for shipping, it could be yours. YOURS! And you'd have the satisfaction of knowing that you helped Medusa to stay running for another couple of days, you showing your support for a band you love, and of course will automatically be more sexy too.

Catchy sales pitch that Chief.

Traditional Pogues concert wear for me has been a 1967 Celtic European Cup Winners shirt with a number 7 on the back.

I did deviate a couple of years ago when Jr and I wore our medusa shirts a few times and met lots of medusans as a result. :P

I recall seeing you at two shows, and you were wearing your shirt at neither. I recall seeing Cdn_Steve in NYC, and he WAS wearing his shirt. At first I thought I was looking at a real, live, New York Fashion Model. But then I saw him a few other nights not wearing the shirt and he just looked like another dude.

I think its sexy powers only work when it's actually worn.

I wore it the second night at the Fillmore in October.

I was wearing my shiny new Medusa shirt at the Las Vegas gig in 2006, and literally...LITERALLY...bumped into another incredibly attractive member who was also wearing the same shirt - sparks were struck! The energy in the room was raised by...well...a big number, I'm sure...

More sexier?

Well a couple of big burly men were winking at me most of the night. So I must have looked sexy. Can't say that my wife was that impressed however.

Yes, thus the reason for leaving my Medusan shirt at home for the Boston trip this year. I mean there were children present after all.

Most certainly that would refer to you K. Dave/derelict, and "attractive," have never been used in the same sentence.
But if memory serves me correctly, I did wear my Medusa shirt that night in Vegas. And sparks did fly....the only show in the U.S. where I could have a smoke.
