The story of my favorite #IronMaiden t-shirt.
Córdoba, Argentina, January 2006, in a small boutique selling only black heavy metal t-shirts. The two kids behind the counter (who, except for mother tongue, could be switched with another pair of pimply-faced third-generation Italian kids from my town in Ohio) are nervous.
"Quiero una camisa negra sobre /ˈaɪərn ˈmeɪdən/ por favor."
(Silence. Their faces say "Es español?")
"/ˈaɪərn ˈmeɪdən/?"
(Panic building)
"🎜 I LEFT 🎝 ALONE / 🎜 MY MIND 🎝 WAS BLANK"
"¡Ahh ahh ahh, /'iɾon 'maiden/!"
