I was busting slack long before it became cool  Is there nothing
new under the sun? Here we are in the 21st century. We have been
through zoot suits and ducktail haircuts, not to mention those
awful platform shoes and polyester leisure suits, and yet
clothing styles continue to create controversy. Imagine that.
When I was a teenager, it was mini-skirts and bellbottoms that
put adults in a tizzy. Now, it's the maddening practice known as
busting slack. That's where you wear your pants several degrees
of latitude below your waist with the stride of the pants down
around your knees.  School boards and even municipalities are
wringing their collective hands and trying to legislate the
style into oblivion. The city of Atlanta is actually considering
making it illegal to show off your underwear in public. The
proposed bill is aimed, of course, at the urban style of, well,
like I said, busting slack. The ACLU - they've come a long way
since the Scopes Monkey Trial, haven't they? - says the bill is
unconstitutional
