Hard to believe that people with long bedraggled hair and intellectual-looking baldies liked rock’n’roll once and that it wasn’t compulsory to have a quiff in the early 1970s. When you think about it, it doesn’t make sense that you should have a particular hairstyle to like a particular music, but that’s reckoning without the teds !
Leaving such philosophical musings to the side, it’s striking how the 1950s rock’n’roll revival groups of the early 1970s did not adhere to the 1950s dress code despite offering a very welcome dose of good dance music for bopping and jiving.
