"That's the Gearest"?


Ok, maybe "reet" is a word, and there is actually some historical basis to "Sportin' Life." Anyone want to try and explain, "That's the gearest"?

He's just saying that it's more gear than other things.

"Gear" was another of those groovy 60s hipster teenage sayings - fairly equibalent to "fab." I learned it from my lifelong Beatles' obsession.

Though I think he should be saying simply "That's Gear!" "Gearest?" Methinks Stan is trying too hard to be hip, Daddy-O.

I think Reed's "gear-dar" isn't working.
