bar bands of the 1970s: a picture thread

L-R:
Mr. Richardson - the trendy liberal English teacher,
Flashbastard - the school bully,
Mr. Werther - the dodgy ex-con school caretaker,
Donny - head of the 6th form, popular with the ladies,
Timpkins - currently digging a secret tunnel into the school tuck shop,
Mr. Thompson - jaded Physics teacher who hates kids and wishes that he'd kept playing keyboards in that band instead.

This is the hardest I have ever laughed on ILM.

Some random thoughts:

*Boy, MTV really DID ruin it for all the 'not at all attractive' dudes in bands, huh?

*A lot of these delusional creeps have wives. Imagine having to be "supportive" of Lenny and his friends rehearsing for the next Kartoon gig at Scabby's on Wednesday night.

*Pretty much every woman pictured in this thread gave me a chubbie.
