No, not me Kaz but being the youngest of five I was always surrounded by my siblings 'era's'. I clearly remember my brother's obsession with The Sex Pistols, he had a purple mohican and safety pins in his ears. He is now a very respectable Cival Engineer . He still has his 'Never mind The Bxxxxxxs Here's The Sex Pistiol's Album.......worth something now!!!

I was a big fan of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Yes I did have pink hair sometimes purple and a very memorable shade of green at one point. (Blue dye just doesn't work on bleached blonde bits) Unfortunately I could never spike my hair 'cos I ate all my crusts as a child. It would go up so far and then curl over! After punk there was a brief flirtation with new romatics then straight on to the likes of Magazine, Psychedelic Furs and Joy Division. (I was a moody teen as you can guess)

They just got offered a subscription to AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) which you have to be 50 to join. Some of them don't have enough hair on top of their heads to gel together any thing even remotely resembling a mohawk!!! God Save the Queen!!! She ain't no human bein'...

I watched that programme presented by jarvis Cocker last night and it showed very first clip of the sex pistols and Siouxsie &the Banshees. I wondered what happened to all the punks in the audience at that time. I was too young :o)
