My most vivid memory of Shawn Cassidy was a record (with his face on it!) on the back of a cereal box, that was made from the cardboard of the actual box, with perforations to push it out. Of course, the fidelity was phenomenal, and it did wonders to your parents phonograph needle, which cost more than a CD player does today. My close-encounter with (gush, gush Heather) Eric Estrada was in Austin, Texas. I was at a comedy club called Esther's Follies. Behind the stage was the window looking onto the street, and who should wander by but Ponch(?) himself, sans chopper, but fresh from 24 straight hours on a tanning bed, who stops, puts his hand against the glass, and checks the place out, much to the delight of the audience, and dismay of the performers. As for my actual encounter with Our Hero Mr. Ferry, I will relate it if enough people plead and scream as if they have just seen Shawn Cassidy or Eric Estrada. - -- John - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 11:51:05 -0400 From: Heather Buch Subject: [AVALON] Third wave glam revival - --_uReach_com_26916734993663306515061xxx_ Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I find it interesting that people are talking about a "glam revival," which I agree certainly exists, but I wonder if anyone realizes that this is the "third wave glam revival." The first glam movement existed in the 70's in England, and to a lesser degree, America. I'm sure no one would argue that, and if anyone tried, it would be a pretty long stretch of the imagination. First-wave glam "heroes" were Bowie, Roxy, New York Dolls, T-Rex, Japan, Mott the Hoople, the Sweet and others. But it was the 2nd glam revival, which everyone associates with big hair bands in Hollywood and Guns 'N' Roses, that had the most influence over my life. This revival started in about '86 for me. Suddenly Johnny Thunders or Guns and Roses started playing places like Fenders Ballroom in Long Beach, then we started hearing about bands like Hanoi Rocks, Smack, or the Lords of the New Church, who were considered very glam. New Hollywood clubs started cropping up - the Scream, English Acid, White Trash Au Go Go, Rajis, or the Glam Slam. They attracted Hollywood denizens like The Screamin' Sirens, Tequila Sunrise, the Pandoras, or Redd Kross. We went to see all of those bands. The look was also very glam, teased, dyed black hair (not at "big" at first as everyone assumes, but sort of nonchalantly coiffed, a la New York Dolls), platform heels on men, feather boas. But there was also the decided influence of the Rodney Bingenheimer neo-psychedelia-garage movement, with paisleys, miniskirts, velvet, and a sort of early Rolling Stones image (Pandoras, or Redd Kross). All of this thrived in Hollywood in the years before Axl Rose decided to revert to his "midwestern good 'ol boy" image with rascist lyrics, Harley's started cropping up all over Melrose and Sunset Blvd., and certain bands from Seattle decided that heroin was cool but makeup was for wusses. All I'm saying was that there was a very hip, thriving 2nd wave glam scene in Hollywood between about 1985-1990. It had its roots in punk, first wave glam, and even mod-psychedelia, but people seem to dismiss it along with Axl Rose, and consider today's milder, more disco-influenced third-wave glam scene to be the "revival of glam." Just an observation.

I loved Shawn Cassidy when I was 7 (had the Casey's Shadow T-shirt, formed a neighborhood club called "The Hardy Girls," then at age 8 or 9 I developed a crush on Eric Estrada. Yes, I had embarrasing tastes as a child. I'll be the first to admit it. I could go on and on about my post-Estrada crushes, but I'd feel like I was sinking into a morass of disgrace from which there was no escape. But as to who I am, I used to be Heather Marie Propes.

I, too, admit to seeing the Runaways (with all original girls - Cherie Currie, Joan Jett, etc.) at a nightclub in Ohio years ago - stupid but fun - yet, I checked Joan Jett as 'the girl in the band to watch' - and IMHO, she put out some great, pure and simple rock n roll records in the years to come. (kinda like the heir to Suzi Quatro..who, as one of the first big 'u'ns...DID rock, without doubt). Read a few interviews with Fowley back in the 'old days' - (one way before Runaways developed, one after) & surely seemed like a curmudgeon and 'dirty old man'. (maybe just the taint of the interviewer - or just the image Fowley wanted to project at that time). Ha! IS he? Inquiring minds ( = me, with not enuf to do on Labor Day, I guess)want to know...
