Rilo Kiley - Under The Blacklight

Rilo Kiley's lead guitarist, Blake Sennett, used to appear in an American comedy show called 'Salute Your Shorts'. I for one applaud this title and the meaning therein.

Many garments aren't given the respect that they deserve. Shorts are held in particularly low esteem. Try getting into a high-roller's casino whilst wearing shorts. You've no chance.

So let's reclaim some dignity for these underrated coverers of our lower parts. They do sterling work for little or no reward. Salute your shorts. It's the least you can do.

You should also genuflect before your gloves and bow to your socks.
