Three Worlds Collide!!!

The inspiration behind this was similar to that behind Nachtmusic, in that it is a product of my love of music. I had to think... what sort of souvenir shirts do I own most? Concert tees. Especially with tour dates, but any limited run band merch will sell like hotcakes at the show in question. So who will the hot act be in the future? Hopefully these guys.

Why did I pick Hendrix, Cobain, and Mozart? Well, besides all three being hugely popular, influential, ahead of their time, and dead, which would make them quite appealing to a music market that could go back in time to retrieve them, they have distinctive hair, making the silhouettes far easier to execute. Cobain's coif is the least unique of the three, but it's obvious it's supposed to be him. Or so I think. I labeled the artists not because they weren't distinguishable in shadow (though I think the names really help Hendrix not look like a sheep, for example), but because plenty of tours of this nature do this, promoting as simply a succession of last names... especially clash-of-the-titans tours like G3. "Three Worlds Collide" is simply a generic-sounding concert event name, but the year (2525) is more musical reference. And let's be honest, you're interested to know what it would sound like, too, aren't you?

The title's not working for me. Maybe something like "Together at last" or "The Three Rockers" or something....a parody of all these old acts reforming to milk the crowds of their last dollar....perhaps I don't make sense and need some milk.
