Gary Glitter

I started out being 13 in 1980 and well erm 23 by the end of the decade, so I guess I was a youngster for at least half of it.

All these groups on your list were way before my time but I do love Pink Flotd. Seen Roger Waters twice and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, Bob Dylan being the worst.

Gary Glitter- What's good about him,besides his clothes?

The worlds best guitarists are now over 60 or dead.
Clapton,
David Gilmour
Hendrix.

For my find of the week it has to be (YouTube) David Gilmour & David Bowie - Comfortably Numb

Gary Glitter - well he was, you know, part of it all.

I went to see him in the Cavern in Liverpool and he turned up an hour and a half late, just in time to defuse the riot.

we were sitting on rows of 'forms' (or whatever they are called), those long wooden things you get in schools. The space was tiny and the floor was an inch deep in puke , beer and wee.

when he got got going , everyone stood up on these 'forms' and started to stamp. They broke in two, one by one , and the floor of the cavern was covered in soaking, writhing, idiots singing 'do you wanna have a gang bang, gang bang, gang bang, you wanna have a gang bang, OH YEAHHHH'

he might be sh1te, but you can't buy memories like that

[Doggy Styles]

Gary Glitter was a very good act. His music was also a bit original when it first came out: the heavy muffled drumbeat, dodgy saxes, and him taking the p155 out of himself.

Up to the 70s, calling someone a homosexual was supposed to be an insult. Somewhere along the line it became a sort of compliment.

when I was a kid it was against the law, then it became discussable, then it became legal, then it became acceptable.
soon it will be compulsory
