Rock Cats in Hats

I have a deep love of hats of all kinds. Hats do so much to make an outfit that much more stylish and unique - and atop the heads of these rock stars, they become iconic. While I think Tom Petty does it best, these other cats deserve many kudos as well as they have become as well known for what's on their heads as what's in their music.

From top to bottom: Jamiroquai, Esteban, Flava Flav, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Slash








Inspiration: ZZ Top with Slash and John Mayer at the House of Blues on Friday night. Plenty of superb head attire.

Quote of the Day

"When I was asked to put together this collection of songs, I wasn't sure what to do. So I just grabbed a bunch of things I was into recently. Some people have favorite songs, but I've got songs of the minute -- songs that I'm listening to right now. And if you ask me about one of those songs a year from now, I might not even remember who did it, but at the moment it's everything to me."

-Bob Dylan in the liner notes for his Starbucks' Artist Choice Series mix album
