Well, you read my mind, I was wondering if a Songs of love and hate t-shirt exists! That would probably be the perfect design for a shirt.
I really think that someone should print them officially, I can't even find a bootleg of it!

I would also like a 'Songs Of' shirt, but this one just doesn't seem like it'll cut it, too cartoon-ish or something:

I don't know why we couldn't take the CD inserts or 'record jackets' into one of those silk screen places and have them enlarge the pic,if need be, and just have them screen the image onto a plain black or white T. It makes a statement. Def. for the artistic types. One could even make a 'collage' of the inserts/pics and have them ALL on one t-shirt. No questioning then, about which side 'we' are on! I have a patch from The Future tour which is sewn onto the front of a jean jacket. The patch is still fine, but may need to be transferred to another, less frayed jacket. Thankfully the weather has been cool in Vancouver, and my Beautiful Losers shirts hasn't even needed one wash. I hate to see what happens after it's washed (and dried). I'll be very careful just in case it's a T that's good for one wash only. A lovely pale grey, which looks very nice with silver jewellery.

Further on the Unified Hearts, has anyone noticed that the fingers of both hands are spread in the 'Mr. Spock's 'live long and prosper' configuration? There were some really nice fleece warm-up jackets in Vancouver and onwards, I guess. Black with an intertwined hearts on the shoulder. Very classy. A similar item could be achieved via the silk screen technique.

Live long and prosper....

This is the required formation for the hands and fingers of a Kohen when he performs the ritual of the Four Priestly Blessings.

...deliver the Priestly Blessing...They perform this rite by standing in the front of the synagogue, facing the congregation, with their arms held outwards and their hands and fingers in a specific formation

For some background, I posted this a while ago on another thread.

"When Leonard spoke his closing words, I realized he was fulfilling his inherited obligation as a High Priest (Kohen). He was performing the ritual of the four Priestly Blessings. (Numbers 6:24-26).

1. It’s getting kind of windy and chilly out there, so don’t catch cold.
2. Be lucky.
3. Be surrounded by friends and family
4. And if this is not your lot, may the blessings find you in your solitude"

Well, thank you for the info. I thought it 'odd' that it had the same configuration as the Star Trek greeting, esp. after seeing LC's self-portrait in what appears to be a Star Trek shirt - the collar just peeking out. I must say, this makes a lot more sense.
I come and go and am not able to 'catch up' in the reading, but I appreciate your response, and will treat my keychain with a little more respect from this moment forth (no more opening beers with it).
