Nobody saw Gary Glitter's ugly ass face and thought of femininity lmao. This weird revision of Glam Rock by nerds that excludes bands who were oriented around working class audience is rubbish.
...spewdo-intellectual revisionist authors of the ‘80s and ‘90s intent on rendering ‘70s Glam Rock as a Gay Phenomenon denied ‘the brickies-in-lippy’ that made up 90% of the scene. Why so? Probably because beautiful people hate uglies and wanna write them out of the story. Besides, unlike its Wodenist Midland siblings Hardrock and Heavy Metal – genres entirely ignored by the so-called intellectuals – the presence at the epicentre of Glam Rock of two such pixies as Bowie and Bolan meant that almost EVERYBODY (compared to that fey duo, at least) was a ‘bricky-in-lippy’, including important Glam Rockers such as the Adrian Street-esque Mick Ronson, the sharklike Mick ‘Woody’ Woodmansey, the Edwardian dockside crane Trevor Bolder, Mott’s Overend Watts, Alice Cooper’s 6’ 5” drummer Neal Smith and hairy-chested songwriter Michael Bruce. So, when you look at these Accused, each one is an esteemed and fucking central hub of the Glam Rock scene. So, fuck that ‘brickies-in-lippy’ shit.
I told you ages ago that bowie thugga connection would get made. Tell me if I'm lying. Saw that coming a mile off
i doubt he would do this. he will prob ramp up the bands oriented around WC auds.This weird revision of Glam Rock by nerds that excludes bands who were oriented around working class audience is rubbish.
Granted, I don't know an awful lot about Glam(rock) but from a salesman's perspective this was probably a good move. The Glam fans are now in their late 50s and 60s and are a generation still reading books.
im up for reading about the glaminuum.
