Andy Gill?

David - there's a website with photos of the pre-Gen X/Chelsea folks on it. I'll check it out.

Mark's right!

I'd want to be Linton Kwesi Johnson

No, I'd want to be Linton Kwesi Johnson.

The body swap experiments continue.

It really pays to actually read closely the thread header. Esp. since neither of Messrs. Mothersbaugh or Harrison are Brits.

I'll pick either Jon King or Pete Shelley. Covers the same ground as Mothersbaugh/Harrison though on different turf (I think?)

Gary Numan pretending to be punk just to get signed

David - this is the link. (http://www.billyidol.com/Rockettes.html). The band was called the Rockettes - no mention of Rob Harper, but I'll ask him.

The bloke at the next desk to me used to be in the Frantic Elevators, and now plays in a band with Idol's old mate. They play stuff like Cray/Clapton/John Martyn etc, so not of interest. I'm the only true punXOR round here!

Delving deep into trivia now. I'm almost certain that that's Rob Harper's white Premier drum kit with 'customised' bendy cymbal stands that he still had when I first met him. But it's somebody else actually playing the drums in the photos.

five months pass...

I don't know her name... In "The Filth & the Fury", there's a blonde girl in what appears to be a black rubber dress, dancing on the stage & holding a pint. She looks likes she's having so much fun!

Donny Osmond!

Captain Sensible. (Although if Tom's Mark Perry I'll be his Danny Baker).

John Lydon, whinging and cranky, increasingly so as I get older, and I get to sing "taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake down tinseltown" in about 20 years time.
