Is it a beret or is it an '81-class Phil Oakey sideflange? Colin is adopting a bit of Dandy-Highwayman stance there as well, is this their one&only foray into NuRomanticism? Its an old, old photo anyway. (George is driving the jeep.) Who will buy?

Weren't they basically street hoodlums in their teens? From the little I've heard about their upbringing, I actually can sympathize with the fruit platter stuff.

But, like I said - it makes sense to me. Not that I approve, mind you. But, it explains a lot. It takes a lot to break cycles of abuse. >and certainly no excuse for heaping crappy >music upon the world.... > Let's see, what's worse. A band re-writing Beatles songs or any song by Brittany Spears, Backstreet Boys, and the other faceless, disposable pop groups in the charts in Britain and U.S. Hmmm... I guess I'd rather listen to the Beatle copy band. Well, actually, I'd rather listen to Wire than either of those choices. (^_^) But, I'd definitely be eyeing the razor blades if I were forced to listen to the disposable pop stuff, whereas I'd just be drinking a lot if I were listening to Oasis.
