We also had Sassafras (on a few occasions even when they were doing bigger concerts they would still do the school) just for expenses and beer), Kursall Flyers, we were lucky we had a music loving art teacher that organized these gigs.

Perhaps I'm guilty of looking at A. Stardust from my older (Canadian) eyes, but if it weren't for the video, I'd just shrug and say "Not a bad bit of mass-market glam rock. I wonder if I can find this on bittorrent..."<br /><br />It's the video, though. I can't imagine my own younger self watching it and not being weirded out by the whole package - the leather bell bottom boiler suit, the quiff wig and sideburns, the hemhorroidal stance and the constant pointing. I was just assuming that there was something in English culture - Christmas pantos, maybe, or the love of ugly drag queens - that would explain it all. Good point, Mayor.

Here's the fact, the music is pop, pure and simple and whether it be My Co caa Choo, or Devilgate Drive they entertained us and at a time when we were also listening to Mud and Wizard it's no stretch to see why we enjoyed it. Now our elder brothers (if we had any) well they would be listening to Purple, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Tull, but we were still kids and it was our music! I never trust people called Anonymous.
Yes it must be difficult to look at Alvin Stardust in America and wonder why, I mean after all you never have flash in the pan pure pop music that's here one minute and gone the next do you?
