Okay so now we know Marty has nothing to hide, then what is he trying to say with his scarves? This calls for a simple country music history lesson.įrom the very beginning of country music, flashy fashion has been at the very heart of the presentation. If Marty was a man concerned with concealing his age, why doesn’t he dye his hair?įurthermore, if you look at promotional photos of Marty from earlier in his career, before the sands of age started carving their cruel lines into his collar, he also wore shirts that many times concealed his neckline. Some have said Marty Stuart wears scarves to conceal a neckline that has aged faster than the rest of him, but this certainly doesn’t appear to be the case in his scarf-free pictures. And lo and behold, there’s no grotesque scars, embarrassing birthmarks, or big hairy moles. One of the biggest misnomers about Marty’s neckwear is that his scarves are an essential accouterment for him to be able to leave the house when it reality you can find many recent promotional photos of Marty with a naked neck. Or perhaps he’s a dandy, you know, one of those types of dandies, despite having married Johnny Cash’s daughter once, and currently being married to Country Music Hall of Famer Connie Smith. Did he injure his neck? Is he concealing some big scar? Perhaps he tried to hang himself and is trying to disguise the embarrassing evidence (one of the most ridiculous accusations I’ve seen). Oh but that hasn’t stopped the questions, the concerns, and sometimes even the accusations concerning Marty’s scarves, and what they might be hiding, literally or figuratively. Why? Because despite all of the questions and consternation about Marty Stuart’s fluffy adornments, the answer to his scarf fetish should be quite obvious to all students of traditional country music, and Marty Stuart listeners especially. In fact, I would be fairly embarrassed to bring up the subject matter to him even if the opportunity presented itself. No, I’ve not discussed the matter with Marty himself. You would think there would be much more important business to attend to in the lives of country music fans than to worry about what clothing accessories Marty Stuart chooses to adorn his wardrobe with, but you may not find another topic of more intrigue or discussion amongst some country listeners than why Marty decides to indulge in neck finery as part of his public fashion. Why Does Marty Stuart Wear So Many Scarves?
