Subject: RE: George Formby
1977 punk rock exploded
destroying all hippy toss in its shock wave..
i was 18
errr.. and buying George Formby.. Jesie Mathews.. and Al Bowlly LPs
and enjoying them just as much as the Clash and the Damned.. et al
.. and at that age i'd have probably very happily composed an essay comparing, contrasting, and theorising socio-economic/ideological links between 1930's UK mass pop culture and late 70's songs of youth rebellion and dissent..
..must have been doing way too much cider and mushrooms back then..!!!???
