1798, I'm not really concerned about it

and I didn't say anything about Cody! This post isn't about him. (ha)

Anyway, the only reasons I'm even inquiring about fashion are:
a) because an overwhelming number of responses to the previous post involved various artists with out there fashion senses, and emphasized their dress as being an element of their coolness (Cody, Prince, Rick, P-Funk);
b) Your own emphasis on P-funk's non-coolness seemed to me at least to stress their attire (how many references have you made to the diaper guy over the years on here?)

My second question was more about the process by which the anti-cool becomes the cool. I've never really understood that... and your previous post sort of makes the assumption that P-Funk wsan't cool, and then... was. How? Why? Was it just the shift to a blacker sound/image/target audience? Their image was still definitely completely wacky.
