THE TRUTH ABOUT STYLISH HEADPHONES -
an anonymous tribute
Stylish Headphones were the trend setters of high school bands - a neglected fact when placed next to local heroes. But think about this:
While most bands thought it was cool to break up when the members went off to different colleges - The Headphones did that almost a full year before everyone else. They broke up long before all the other bands in the area. Did they inspire such other local favorites as Jet Set Pilots to break up at the end of high school? Who knows - but what we do know is that The Headphones were ahead of their time, turning out cheap, homespun melodies and forcing people to pay $5 to listen to them. Classy....they always will be.
