No way I'd want to go back to the times of polio, Nazism, segregation, and Depressions. But I agree that our idealized version of the past can be a great motivator for the future.</p>Brett &#38; Kate McKaySun, 20 Jul 2008 14:12:26 -0000http://artofmanliness.com/2008/07/19/the-art-of-manliness-weekly-roundup-the-james-gang-edition/#comment-6639864<p>Well, as a historian, I'm never one to long for the "good old days" but that's no reason not to take an idealised past as an example for the future.</p>MarcelSun, 20 Jul 2008 14:05:57 -0000http://artofmanliness.com/2008/07/19/the-art-of-manliness-weekly-roundup-the-james-gang-edition/#comment-6639863<p>@ Frugal dad- Outkast. Yes. They do have an Outkast vibe about them.</p>Brett McKaySat, 19 Jul 2008 15:03:25 -0000http://artofmanliness.com/2008/07/19/the-art-of-manliness-weekly-roundup-the-james-gang-edition/#comment-6639862<p>Thanks for including my article in the roundup! Personally, I liked The James Gang...sort of remind me of some of the throwback music from Outkast. And kudos to them for originality!</p>Frugal DadSat, 19 Jul 2008 14:46:11 -0000http://artofmanliness.com/2008/07/19/the-art-of-manliness-weekly-roundup-the-james-gang-edition/#comment-6639861<p>Their music wasn't all that great to me. They did a pretty good job, but not spectacular. I'll need to listen to more for it to grow on me.</p><p>I think what really made them stand out was their appearance and clothing. This is right in line with the theme of this site, which again, is touching a nerve that many people yearn for - the throwback to when things were "different".</p><p>Great list...The Simple Dollar article is a MUST read!!!!</p>Kevin (ReturnToManliness)Sat, 19 Jul 2008 14:12:07 -0000
