"Almost Hell"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=1444
Back in the '70s, the entire DC Metro area -- especially the Virginia suburbs -- was awash in T-shirts promoting West Virginia tourism, with the two-word slogan "Almost Heaven" taken from the notorious John Denver song being beaten to death on Top 40 radio at the time. As I let my mind chew on the Al Jazeera America news reports on the continuing chemical spill situation in West Virginia, I somehow stumbled over the memory of this cheesy T-shirt art.
