A friend's older brother had "THAT" poster hung in the storage shed he used as a hang-out room. I was mesmerized. I think that prior to 1990 it might have been the single most popular thigh boot picture in popular culture. Then Pretty Woman came out and ruined the 90's.

All boot hobbyists should be able to identify "Harley Davidson" from Special Bardot.

Sorry, if this flood might be a little......messy. I've been distracted by a youtube clip of a full concert from Danish TV of Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe and Rockpile, my favorite "super-group" from 1979. I saw them at the Whisky A Go Go (or the Roxy?) just a few months prior in the winter of '78. You know I love boots, but there's a strong magical pull to the music you loved when you were 17.
THEY CALL IT ROCK!
You're entitled to your own opinion of course, Bruce. But Rockpile were a bit lame by 1978/79 standards. Most of us were punks by then?
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. Any more Keshia Chanté?

Rockpile was NEVER lame, but yeah, I saw The Clash at the Santa Monica Civic a few weeks later and that shit blew my mind. I had been on the fence between that kind of new-y pub rock/retro stuff and punk. Seeing The Clash pushed me over the fence. To a 17 year old that full-on adreno-aggression was what I needed.
DeleteAnd yeah, there's some more Keshia in the pipeline.
Ahh..the Harley scene with Bardot. That and Nancy´s boots are strong influences in the forming of my preferences. My visit to Britain as a Young teen Learning English in 1974 and the boots i saw then is the third.
