The Valley Mullet

i guess it has a lot to do with where you're from
    where you were born and raised
i have a little trouble trying to understand
    nature's rolling ways
i am as open minded as the next folk is
    maybe even more
sure enough love to see all that diversity
    walking through our nation's door
i travel every corner of this continent
    bus train cab and silver bullet
but i never get my head around this enigma known
    as the strong mud flappin' mullet

-- The Mullet Song, Mingo Fishtrap

Every culture has a mullet. Some hideous fashion disaster that's accepted by everyone as just, well, the way a dude appears if he wants to be taken seriously, but still rock out. When you ask a southern man why he wears a mullet, his response is:

Bidness in front, partay in back.

I am declaring the following mode of dress, the Valley Mullet. It is:

Business on top, party on the bottom.

It is the combination of sport coat with jeans, so you can be casual, even hippie like, or communist and one with the proletariat, while at the same time demonstrating that you too are a ruthless business man willing to do anything to make money.

The master of the valley mullet.

Old man valley mullet.

'You cannot properly rock the valley mullet with a backpack young padwan.'

Tater tots and fries baby.

The hat says, safari too.

It's even in europe.
