Full Range Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Starting today I will go through my Slade LP collection Yes I am a closet Slade fan and proud of it They started out with a different name in 1966 Never made it big in the USA But copied by US bands 10 years later Overall the music was so good it’s still relevant and popular today Artist - Slade Title - Old New Borrowed and Blue 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 If that's not a blast from the past I don't know what is, recalled the name instantly and remembered the quiet riot cover that made the fm waves. Pulled them up on youtube and saw them short haired and younger doing a Beatles song in the 60s for a tv show, then a rocker after that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUbjRivaZOs pardon that ignorant poster that thinks short hair back then had an ulterior meaning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid 70s mine was long to my shoulders and so thick the barber spent the first twenty minutes thinning my hair. Past twenty..... I cut it myself with a one inch and a 3/4 around my ears, I've reverted. Don't even have to buy shampoo when it's this short! That darn gene got me good! "American History X" is what I think of when skinhead is mentioned... I automatically think derogatory. Accusations of that fly all over the last decade from the ones who are the actual prejudiced ones. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 According to this we're both right. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=skinhead But being accused of being a racist `cause of boots-jeans-tshirt attire & short balding hair brings the derogatory definition to the top. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Range Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 @JohnJ I also had long hair in the seventies but I wasn’t a hippie Because I lived and grew up in a beach town just about all surfies had long hair Look up Newcastle in AU on google earth to see the choice of beaches we went to chasing waves 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Woo Hooooo!! Waves? in Australia? Bet you had those thirty - 40 footers all the time! Around here (Myrtle Beach SC) or the Outer Banks areas 6 to 8 foot waves were the big ones. Fun to body surf, bad when you messed up and got scraped across a lot of beachfront. At least the salt water helped you heal quicker than normal. Ahhh the Pavilion in Myrtle Beach in the late 70s........ serious collisions with the bumper cars. Then the Himilayan that had a sound system hooked up to it. Every time there for about 5 or so consecutive years this would play: If you were in the southern USA as a teen in 1977... especially if you were at that same pavilion you will recognize it. I can just about taste the salty air (& something else) when I hear it! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
