Mod Target Shirt

About This Shirt

What began as the Royal Air Force's roundel has become a major symbol of pop art and rock and roll. Jasper Johns launched its popularity by using it in his pop art paintings of the 1960s. The Jam used the mod target as a part of their logo as well. However, no one made the mod target more popular than The Who. With the wall-shaking guitar riffs of Pete Townshend, the bone-rattling vocals of Roger Daltrey, the pounding and powerful bass lines of John Entwistle, and the frenzied and hypnotic drumming of Keith Moon, The Who transformed the face of sixties rock, responding to the trippy psychedelic music with hard-hitting, fast paced rock and roll that laid the foundation for heavy metal and punk rock. They invented the rock opera genre with magnificent masterpieces like "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia." They rocked major, important rock festivals like Woodstock, where Pete Townshend hit Abbie Hoffman with his guitar, and the Monterey Pop Festival, where they smashed their instruments after playing "My Generation." Their unique sound inspired other great musicians such as Led Zeppelin, The Clash, U2, Rush, and Queen's guitarist, Brian May. Get this great mod target tee shirt from Strange Cargo and get ready to rock, roll, and watch a "CSI" marathon.
