Definitely a mocker!

I think I was a chameleon. Long greasy hair and rock music. Summer of 76 doesn't cut hair, but gets into new wave. In fact got hit by drunk from a gang of mods in a bar who was antagonising my mate's girlfriend one sad evening about a year later so our hair was still long. Then cut hair wore drain pipes becomes a student and gets into Ska and two tone followed by the independent music that was emerging in Manchester.

Mod was '60s, yeah? And mostly British-influenced. We saw some of it here, miniskirts and boots, the slick coats, the caps.

Nope. Not nearly old enough for all that.

Much more influenced by the late '60s rock.

Talkin' 'Bout My Generation. I narrowly missed hearing The Who live in concert; I had tickets, but it was cancelled last minute due to illness in the band.


@moonbus

The WHO... complete originals. Especially their earliest act. Great music!

- "I Can't Explain"

- "Substitute"

I wear a pork pie hat. Maybe that's about happy memories of Ska. Maybe its basically cos I've got no hair. 😁
