the urge to ride your trike

June 18, 2025

 In most situations with a strong correlation I say let’s not jump to causation. But here I say causation all the way. 

 

27 years ago I did a little zine called kickstand with the Soundgarden song looping in the back of my mind… 

 

…correlation? Yes. 

…causation? Hell Yes.   

 

Today I made myself a dickstank trike shirt and I also got myself a knock-off Soundgarden kickstand trike shirt 

 

In the late 90s I had this t-shirt, not from a concert, from the cool poster shop at 6th & Denny. I wore it very few times. If only I still had it I could sell it on Etsy for $450. 

For my second attempt at owning a version of this shirt I went with a tasteful understated black instead of the original sickly brownish green.  

 

 

kickstand

Kicksand, you got loose and I threw up
Yeah kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup
My mother say that it's alright
My mother says that's the only life
 
So do it right
Do it right
Come stand me up
Come stand me up
Come stand me up
 
Yeah kickstand, I got saddle made of leather
Oh kickstand, I got the words to come together
I got the urge to ride your trike
My mother says that's the only life
 
So do it right
Do it right
Come stand me up come stand me up come stand me up
 
Oh kicksand, you got loose and I threw up
Yeah kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup
My mother say that it's alright
 
Do it right
Do it right
Stand me up stand me up, stand me up
