Odd ain’t it that when most think of iconic Baby Boomers as eyewear legends, music makers such as Bob Dylan and John Lennon dominate. Sorry. They are NOT Boomers. Too old. So I’m taking the opportunity to pick one of MY fave legendary bands, the sharp-dressed men of ZZ Top! They are STILL rocking and “role”ing, and the fact that they even tattled a song about shades drives my point home in Hot Rod style. We’re still looking for votes for YOUR choice of an eyewearer best representing the Millennial generation so shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]., and if you’d rather nominate someone from your own generation, give that a voice as well. The winner will dominate the December issue’s Parting Glance.

We thought this SunVision cover might ride well on the same page with ZZ Top’s Billy F. Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard. For this particular issue, Wiley X shades hit the road under that Bell helmet. —JJS
