If your stage outfit can’t offend at least one accountant, it’s not a look. by Freddie Mercury

Freddie, offending accountants is a reliable test for art being alive.

Bowie, if the spreadsheet stays calm, the outfit has failed.

A look should make the room choose between fear and dancing.

Prince, accountants hate anything that refuses a category.

Good. Categories are where weak taste goes to feel safe.

And safe never made a stage remember your name.

If the outfit does not make one accountant clutch a folder, it is just laundry.
