tougher than leather

I was way too young to fully appreciate the significance of RUN-DMC & the fact that, on top of everything else, they also made a commercially successful rap movie.


It's funny how you feel tough when you wear leather. I was on my way out last night, sporting my leather jacket & rocking the iPod on the train. Forget that I am a middle aged white male law student - the point isn't whether I am tough or even look tough. The point is that wearing a leather jacket makes you feel tough. How could it not?

But that feeling quickly fades away when you reach into your pocket and find a tube of Blistex. It's hard to feel tough when you have Blistex in your pocket.
