There's this scene in the great movie
"Jesus' Son", (which, if you haven't seen, you should go out and rent) based on the equally great book by Denis Johnson, where F*** Head (Billy Crudup) the main character, a seemingly doomed alcoholic drug addict is in treatment and he goes to this A.A. dance with Mira (Holly Hunter), a one legged heroin addict in recovery. Anyhow, at the back of the dance hall, which is in like a school gymnasium or somewhere there's this hand painted sign, and it simply reads Rock Sober.
Being a recovering alcoholic addict myself, this touched me as being incredibly funny and also loaded with a sense of sadness and innocence for things past, like teenage school disco's say, and the scene in the movie has that sort of feel, everyone a bit nervous, on edge like young high school kids at their first dance.
That was the inspiration for this T-Shirt Design.The design can be taken in the same way as the famous Betty Ford Clinic T-Shirt design "Rehab is for Quitters". Deadly serious as in, rehab is for those who want to quit, or with a grand sweeping sense of irony, mirth and good humour at one's own follies, failings and f**k ups.
