i never wore any of those clothes. I usually wore bluejeans [[levis), sneakers or basketball shoes, and a t-shirt or plaid "pendleton" lumberjack shirt [[red green has been accused of copying me!). I still wear the same thing. Since my one year as a consultant for an engineering firm, i have only worn a suit at weddings, bar mitzvahs and funerals. I never went in for fads. I always cut my hair the same way, wore similar clothing, etc.
I'm still stuck in the early 1960s [[never really left 1964). I've had my beard and moustache since graduating high school at age 17 in 1963) and never shaved it off. I did eventually get a computer [[2001), and i even got a mobile phone finally, last year [[but it's not a s"smart phone", it's a little one that i don't use for internet surfing, only to make and receive telephone calls, and to text [[which i almost never do). I do use skype, which is a great help, in that i work with partners in the netherlands, denmark, germany, and sweden, and speak with family in usa, canada, netherlands, denmark, sweden almost every day. But those are the only concessions i make to "modernity". I have bicycles in all my 5 homes [[netherlands, denmark, germany, canada and usa), but only have a car in usa [[as it is in public transportless l.a.), and only drive it a couple thousand miles per year. I'll probably give it up and leave l.a. For good within the next 2 years.
