Joe: Well Jimmie, I think the natural order of things causes people to change [their wardrobe] when they wear a shirt to many times, much like anybody else. You wear a shirt to work too many times, ya throw that shirt away or ya stop wearing it. But my appearance has always been based on what I felt like at the time. That's why I've never looked at my music like I look at the way I dress. It's a very free thinking that goes into dressing. Sometimes no thinking at all, but nobody's pressuring me. I can't speak for everybody. I can speak for myself and say that nobody pressures me to look a certain way. Even when it happens, it's a very very mutual thing.
