I have said many times that shorts onstage are totally unrock, archival pics of Rollins notwithstanding. Usually shorts onstage are nowadays accompanied by shaved heads and pointily-sculpted goatees as well. I shudder.
Edit:
I am willing in some cases to make exceptions for drummers. They are the athletes in bands, and deserve some slack. Most of the time they are like newscasters behind a desk anyway, and we have no idea what they look like from the waist down.
