    1.):
    from Wikipedia:
    The title of "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" was inspired by an event covered by Time reporter Hugh Sidey in 1966.
    The reporter correctly guessed something was wrong when the fastidiously dressed President Lyndon B.
    Johnson made the fashion faux pas of wearing brown shoes with a gray suit. LBJ flew to Vietnam for a surprise
    public relations visit later that day.

    One of several different sources of inspiration that led up to the formation of something called NAMBLA.

    With a reply like that, you must be a nambla member, just as one of il-wereo's distractors / sock puppets said you were!

    As for the song, and the real heart of this post by TOG, Brown Shoes Don't Make It,
    Zappa hated those F-Ups, too. Just makin' fun with then-President LBJ
