‘Ladies tea party’ & where the hell is Lora Logic?!

 

[Deleted member 28602]

Did Morrissey attend boys' schools or were they coeducational? Just curious.

 

[The Seeker of Good Songs]

What was the occasion that those ladies were together?

Billy Idol. What a f***ing gem he is. So underrated both as a vocalist and as a songwriter.

It seems like an impossible photo shoot, and that getting those women, each with their own distinctive careers, all together at one time in one place, couldn't have happened. But it did

Boys' school. He hated it.

This is fantastic. What a gang of THuGs!

Boys' school. He hated it.

Thanks. Did he hate it because it was a boys' school? Often we don't notice that we 'suffer' from a tunnel vision when we only know one type of institution. I guess his sister went to a girls' school then, and he could see a difference, maybe.

 

[Littlechinagirl]

I would love a single mentioning the punk influence

 

[Paul Andrews]

Moz always loved Gen X. He was at Rafters in Manchester on June 30, 1977 for one of their dates - one of about 30 peoples. Support from The Worst and Warsaw. He'd already seen Idol and James as part of Queen October's Chelsea at the Electric Circus in Nov 76. And was at the Drones show with a newly minted Generation X at Houldsworth Hall aka Church House the following month. By the Rafters date, Steve Harrington was Gen X's ligger come roadie flogging copies of the '48 Thrills' fanzine for 15p. Strange went onto to 'manage' the Rich Kids fan club before reinventing himself as Steve Strange in the 80's.

Yeah - going by his interviews, autobiography & Johnny Rogan - he hated it because it was a boys school. Also because religion made him feel bad about his sexuality. He was picked on because he was effeminate & it's where his problems with his gender seem to have started.

I assume his sister was in the local girl's Catholic school?

A fascinating account, Paul. Thanks. Were you there too?
