Shirt #3: The Prodigy
Album: Music For The Gilted Generation
Year: 1994
Definition of Prodigy: An unusually gifted or intelligent young person; someone whose talents excite wonder and admiration.
Facts: This is one of my favorite photographs of AM. Aside from being wicked display of the essence of the word ‘prodigy’, it also says a 1000 words about how much he (and everyone else) loved his work. As an added nostalgic bonus Adam acquired this t-shirt from Defunkd.
