melthebell Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 No New York Dolls on that but there is a Mott track. The Clash were massive Mott fans and came on stage to, I think, All The Way To Memphis when they played the Top Rank in 78. its more the uk glam than us and indeed punk lets not get into one of those arguements lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamrocker Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Glam rock introduced a whole generation of men and boys to the notion that men could wear make up, dress outrageously, and adopt a more feminine style. Things had already shifted a great deal by the time Boy George turned up. Like I said they were laughing at themselves they didnt do it to make any statement,maybe the Forum and indeed the world in general would be a better place if everyone stood back and had a little giggle at themselves,you never know you might like yourselves a little more.
