Is it possible to be both mod and rock, intermittently? Cause moral outrage by beating yourself up. Put it like this... I,as a young man!! Tended to be more of a " mod", my brother ,one up from me was a "rocker" all motorbikes .dirty leather jackets 🤮 and all that ,while living in the same house 😀, tense was a word atimes!! Now 50 did years on it still is !! I’ve had a go there at choosing a classic mod and a rock example. What archetypal examples can you place under the headings? What was the brother playing over and over back in the day? |

I think they fitted both sets of that era, Lennon was ,what I think the ultimate " smooth talking guy" but his stage persona was definitely Rock and roll, fitting that " rockers" image Is it possible to be both mod and rock, intermittently? Cause moral outrage by beating yourself up. I think they were initially rockers as the quarrymen |

Thanks Bas - we obviously find more in common on Today's Tune than the Guzzler! Sadly just JJ Burnel from the original line up. Still a great bass player. Nice cameo from Psycho - (saw him play against the Gas in the League Cup early 90's - best player on the pitch). As a comment on YouTube states - where is this going to get played? Fun fact. My daughter is going to study music at Guildford at the weekend, birthplace of the Guildford Stranglers. |

I was behind the Wembley goal when Stuart Pearce hit his penalty home v Spain. I suppose it will get some air play (don't know which station) and the loyal Stranglers fans will buy the album. I don't mind the song - I like Stuart Pearce' role - but it belongs very much in the post Hugh era. Is Dave on keyboards,recorded before he died? Apparently yes. |

Bob Geldof didn't like them at the time I seem to remember, in the days when he thought everyone or anyone for that matter, cared about his opinion. He called them They Might Be ***t*s |
