I was wondering wear Adam Clayton, the poshest member of the band, did his shopping. Especially those sweet redish camouflauge pants. THanks. - An Adam Clayton Obsessed Amateur Bassist
Dear AACOAB:
As a bassist, you must know that once you master the four strings, it's up to your stage outfit to impress the fans. Adam knows this better than anyone.
All of Adam's pants are provided by Spanky's House of Fatigues which is located in Dayton, Ohio. During his travels around the country while making the Rattle & Hum album and film, Adam found Spanky's quite by accident. Adam was looking for a colorful, unique, durable, and let's be honest, roomy pant that he could wear during live shows. The pants all have plenty of pocket space for his lighter and the five packs of cigarettes he keeps on his person at all times. I'm told one pocket is for his picks, another pocket for his 'little black book' (now a Handspring PDA with extra memory so each of the supermodels can have their own entry). There is a small pocket at the back of the pants for any new additions to his spoon collection. So you see, Adam and Spanky are a fashion match made in heaven.
Spanky makes his pants in many colors, but Adam has lately been partial to the red ones, although its hard to say in what sort of landscape he'd be camouflaged.
