Mick Fleetwood's Musical Vest Solo Is Hilariously Stupid -- Video

One night in 1987, Mick Fleetwood traveled to the edges of the musical universe to drop some future tense on us all. During a particularly energetic drum solo, the Fleetwood Mac skins man dabbled in a little-known MIDI technology that would soon revolutionize ... nothing.

BEHOLD: The Drum Vest!

Or the Atari Hotz Box, as it known by tech nerds of the day. The programmable apparel could be slapped into coughing out some of MIDI's worst squeaks and squawks while making its wearer look super, super cool.

Check out the epic vest solo below from Fleetwood Mac's Shake the Cage tour video "Tango in the Night." [Author's note: What on earth is hanging down in the front of that vest?]

The vest is hilariously stupid. I think that is the intent. ... But do you really not know what that thing is below the legs? What are you twelve? LOL. Look at the cover of Rumours. You are a music reviewer. Brush up on some classic iconography. Next you will wonder what the prism is on that Pink Floyd album.
