Norbert, you are now learning that your crime is time. Remember yesterday? Remember how you decided that naptime was only for Norbert? For that crime, you have been sentenced to 45 seconds of swimming in a Skid Row shirt. Yes, they DO call you problem child, and you WILL spend your life on trial!
Norbert ain't got no sunglasses, and he ain't got no pair of shoes, but he does got some love for his silly mama, which he shows by posing in this rad shirt from currently local LA band Restavrant.
Unfortunately, Norbert looks more like a cat who could use a visit from Dr. Jimmy than a rockin' cat singing his song to the highest mountain about the upcoming Who Superbowl performance. Oh, Norbert, don't cry. Don't raise your eye. It really is a Who shirt, even if it doesn't look like it! Go pick up your guitar and play, just like yesterday! You know you can't resist strings that make noise when you smack them...or any strings, for that matter...
Crosby wakes up from a long nap and uses his Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros shirt to say what meows cannot: Mama, home is whenever I'm with you. Home, yes I am ho-o-ome, home is wherever I'm with you. Mama, I'm comin' home.
Norbert rebels by relaxing in an Arcade Fire hoodie instead of a t-shirt. He really takes their lyrics to heart, and truly believes that sleeping is giving in, no matter what the time is (especially, in fact, if it's 3, 4, or 5 AM). Oh, Norbert, you ain't foolin' nobody! We know you go back to sleep as soon as mom goes to work!
Well, we know one reason Norbert cries away each lonely night (and no, it's not that a mysterious person dresses him in t-shirts!): unlike his late lookalike "sister" Noonoo, a true friend of the devil (pictured after the jump with mysterious child circa 1984), Norbert was not born and raised in Woodstock. In fact, he's not allowed there at all: well, he's allowed, but he'd have to fly 3,000 miles from Los Angeles and then stay in a kennel instead of the Woodstock family home. Still, he enjoys relaxing to some Grateful Dead, having a sunshine daydream of walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes, blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely...
Norbert says: "What am I doing wearing this Coachella 2007 shirt? Coachella is SO over! It is totally overcommercialized and all of the bands that play there now are sellouts and they all suck! I remember when Coachella first started, back when I was a kitten, and they used to give out FREE WATER! Plus, I can sing better than most of these bands, anyway. Ask my mom; I practice my singing all night long!" Norbert kids, of course. The 2007 bands were pretty good - you can check out the back of his shirt after the jump. Or check out the poster here.
Although Norbert would probably be in The Misfits if he were a female human cartoon character from the 80s, he thinks he can be whoever he wants to: it all depends on the mood he's in. And, right now, he thinks Jem is excitement and Jem is adventure, and he's definitely in a Jem and the Holograms mood.
