Musician's hats

[parispal]

Hello

i just noticed something funny about musicians and hats. Lyle Lovett, who is famous for his hats, never wears one on stage. He explained to me that this is a "working item", which means he wears one on the ranch when he works with horses. Or did he mean music is not his proper job?

Working horses is work. Playing music is play.

He means that hats are practical apparel, that one wears when needing protection from the elements. They are not fashion accessories. No need (and indeed it's impolite) to wear one when indoors.

Sure HudsonHawk, but when he rides his horses at reining shows, his hat is an integral part of the attitude and attire.

Well, Erykah Badu appeared in the NME newsfeed, so I assume she's a musician of one kind or another.

In any event, she seems to like hats with a tall crown:

She's known as the Queen of Neo-Soul.

Yes, I'm listening to some of her tunes and they are pretty good.

Yeah, you can have his girl but don't touch his hat.

No hat here but what a generous man who brings all the ACL crew on stage for the show finale Worrld-class act!

Donavon Frankenreiter, former pro surfer/musician. He wears his hats playing music. Don't know if he wears them surfing though:

Erykah Badu is a big deal. But here's a particularly interesting hat of hers (no comment on the holes).
