I’ve seen this floating around, and I have to tell you why there’s just so much NO here.
Big reason: this is sexist as fuck.
There’s the implication that girls/women can’t just be fans of music, they have to be groupies.
You’d never see a guy wearing a comparable shirt saying “good boys go to heaven, bad boys go backstage.”
I’ve been backstage. I’ve met musicians. I was happy to meet the musicians. I was not there to fuck the musicians. Not once. Not ever.
A musician would actually have to try harder than the average Joe Blow to get in my good graces due to the reputation that musicians have.
I’m not saying that there aren’t musicians I find attractive. I’m a heterosexual woman. There are plenty of musicians I’ve found attractive. However, I don’t see the need to fuck everyone I find attractive.
I would wear this shirt before I would wear a pro Donald Trump shirt. However, I would turn it inside out, because I sure as hell wouldn’t want this sexist bullshit emblazoned on my chest.

I am a good girl and I am married to a (really talented) musician...so...okay, I will shut up...*wink*
That's far different from what this idiotic item is implying. I've always resented the idea that any female who is interested in music or has any sort of camaraderie with musicians is a slut. I've always loved music and would have aimed to become a musician myself if I had even an iota of talent.
If I had been more forward thinking I would have gotten involved in sound engineering, or hell, even become a radio DJ. I've always been frustrated at not being able to be involved in the arts. I thought I had a modicum of talent at writing, but the deplorable sale of the one book I published and the desert that is my comments sections says otherwise.
