The Who

Apr 14, 2019

Back in 1964, BBC-TV's Panorama programme featured a short clip about the new phenomenon of Mods and Rockers. If you happen to be in your early 70s you'll recognise and remember what this was like back in the day. Those of you who remember Mods and Rockers via the Quadrophenia album of '73 and the subsequent 1979 movie will remember the 70s revival. But watch this and see the real Jimmy Coopers, the Chalkies, the Stephs, the Spiders, the Ferdies and the Ace Faces of 1964.

Vespa is for city driving and motor-bike for the highway. But bicycle is the coolest.

I’m 50 this year. The 80s revival was not so much a mod/rocker thing, it was more about getting away from the new romantic look, for me anyway! I really didn’t want to wear woman’s makeup and clothes Have done since though
