As my eyes scan the rows of people surrounding me, however, I notice that one of the most popular shirt types doesn’t even mention the band. I recognized this as the iconic tie-dye t-shirt worn by Lithuania’s men’s basketball team that won the bronze medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. You may have seen this t-shirt before without realizing it. There is a photo of Jonah Hill rocking the same look. Lisa Kudrow’s character, Phoebe, wore one on an episode of “Friends” in 1997. The sportswriter Jack MacCallum has described the shirts as “a stoned-out psychedelic masterpiece” and his favorite sports memento. They’ve become collector’s items – there are multiple versions, some rarer than others – that re-sell for hundreds of dollars on eBay and vintage clothing sites such as Grailed. Bill Walton, who has been to over 1,000 (!) Dead shows, says the shirts are at every show. “It always brings the biggest smile to my face because I know how much went in,” Waltontold me. “It’s really difficult to understand the magnitude and the significance and the impact and the power of what went down with those shirts.”

For The Win

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 hits stores on Tuesday and Activision released a live-action commercial on Saturday for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC shooter starring Sam Worthington, Jonah Hill, and NBA star Dwight Howard. Titled "The Vet & The n00b," the commercial puts Sam Worthington in the role of the veteran Call of Duty player schooling Jonah Hill as the "n00b" using the grenade launcher and getting killed easily. Hill finally gets the hang of things though before Dwight Howard shows up. Activision did a similar humorous commercial with Black Ops last year starring Kobe Bryant and Jimmy Kimmel that took a slightly skewed look at what the people playing multiplayer actually look like.
