Surely this all depends on whether you think t-shirts like that are intrisically linked to the albums/artists that they represent or whether they can stand on their own in purely aesthetic/fashionable terms, removed from the music that spawned them.
The Goo album design itself represents an appropriation of an image of David and Maureen Smith, relatives of the Moors Murderers, going to a court. Yet most would argue wearing the t-shirt doesn't amount to to condoning the murder of children. I guess the point is that sometimes sleeves like this transcend their original medium, gaining more pop-cultural significance as a piece of iconic artwork than as any kind of representation of music. So you're bound to get fashion victims or those with an artistic bent wearing stuff like the Goo design. I mean c'mon, David Beckham wore a t-shirt with an Exodus album cover on it.

I remember in highschool going back yearrrrrs ago now. Some kidhad an Alice in Chains shirt and I made comment about it, he gave me a puzzled look and I realised he hadn't a clue, I said the band on your shirt, and he said something along the lines of "I don't know who they are. My mum bought it for me".

When I was school age, I used to wear a t-shirt with this design:
I knew nothing about Roy Lichtenstein, I just liked the picture. |

The graphics aren't Sonic Youth's to sell or not sell anyway, the belong to the artists.

I don't know. I think it's kind of cool. The guy's showing off the Roy Pettibon artwork more than the album, really. As band T's go, there aren't many as classy, so at least he's showing good taste--and promoting good art.

I wonder how many of the people who wear that shirt know they're promoting the Rolling Stones? |

Let him sell out? Johnny Rotten? He's the epitomy of fake.

neither John Lydon nor any of the sex pistols have any say as to how the pistols are marketed. They are Malcom mclaren's band. He decides. he owns the rights.
