The REAL reason 'Why I'm the guy in BLACK' ...

                                     

A man once sang a very noble sounding song :

It went: 

                Well, you wonder why I always dress in black

Why you never see bright colors on my back,

And why does my appearance 

seem to have a somber tone.

Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

I wear the black for the poor & the beaten down

Living in the hopeless side of town

I wear it for the sick & lonely old, 

for the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold.

And I wear it for the thousands who have died 

Believing the Lord was on their side

I wear the black in mournin' 

for the lives that could have been, 

Each week we lose a hundred fine young men

And he went on :

I wear it for the prisoner

who has long paid for his crime

but is there because he's a victim of his times

 And he added:

Well, there's things that never will be right I know 

And things need changin' everywhere you go

And there were many other noble reasons before he concluded with:

'But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back

"Till things are brighter 

HE VOWED 

I'm the man in Black"

It is undeniable that other than when BLACK is the color of skin  -  it IS  a really very attractive color.

In fashion and in everything else BLACK never seems to go out  of style. 

However, noble, romantic and idealistic reasons aside: 

ONE of the many reasons I wear black is actually 

..... BLACK hides dirt from showing up :)

And BLACK clothes stay 'clean' looking longer, cuts down laundry bills.

And as an extra plus, 'BLACK' carries the added glamor of all the above noble reasons !

That's why I too will mostly dress in BLACK  ----- 

And 'til a 'DIRTIER' color comes along

 I too am the guy in BLACK
