Kilts were discussed on the nationally syndicated "Bob and Tom" radio show this morning (10/10/12). It all started with a discussion of the origin of pants and what was worn before that. Of course, one of them said dresses were worn and due to their ignorance (which is typical of most people, regarding their understanding of the kilt), the discussion went wild around men wearing dresses. Finally, one of their guests spoke up and mentioned that men wore kilts (and the like) in the past, and a brief discussion of kilts ensued. Someone implied that we should go back to those times and that all men should wear kilts. (Good idea, but...)

Did any of you here this today?

The program is a morning, comedy talk show (that I listen to on the way to work) with the four personalities and various guests poking fun at things so, they are not very serious most of the time. What struck me was that only one person out of perhaps 6 or 7 people in the studio spoke up and identified the kilt. Of course, I immediately thought of kilt when the subject of pants first came up but, the reality is that most people wouldn't.

I thought that I might visit the "Bob & Tom" facebook page and post a comment about kilts and kilt wearers if I can. Kilt wearing won't necessarily become main-stream but, I like to seize any opportunity to promote kilt wearing and to help dispel any misconceptions others might have of those who wear them.
