...what is It? Ten months later, we still don't know for sure, and no one who does is talking, least of all inventor Dean Kamen, 49. The only public utterance from the denim-clad millionaire was an early statement that "the leaked proposal quoted several prominent technology leaders out of context, without their doubts, risks and maybes included." (He also reportedly cut off all contact with Kemper, although Kemper has denied this.) The project was promising, Kamen said, but the expectations generated by the press were "beyond whimsical...
There is no telling what the dozen pretty young girls invited backstage after Incubus' Houston concert expected to find when they made it past security. It is a fair guess that they did not dress in low-riding denim and tummy-baring T shirts to take part in a unicorn-drawing contest. Too bad for them.

And somewhere beyond the sea, Edith Piaf would translate "Black Denim Trousers," which L&S wrote for The Cheers (featuring future Broadway "Cabaret" star and game-show host Burt Convy) into "L?Homme ? Moto." When they created some of these numbers, L&S (both born in 1933) were still barely old enough to vote...
We’ve all seen the picture. John leads the way, dressed all in white. Ringo follows in a black mod suit. Paul is next, barefoot, cigarette in hand. George brings up the rear, clad head to toe in blue denim. With a green marker I carefully tagged the stone pillar next to the Westminster NW8 street sign and the wall in front of Abbey Road Studios across the street, adding my name and the date to all the other testimonials of adoration—some quoting favorite lyrics, some merely proclaiming, “I was here...
