Reply #50: I Didn't Say It Wasn't Conventional Wisdom

[ProfessorGAC]

I just said i disagreed with it. Even as far back as Hunky Dory and MHSTW, Bowie was doing the full-on androgeny thing. Dyed hair, jewlery, etc. That's why i don't buy the T-Rex thing. Bolan and his boys broke big in England first, but i think the movement well-predates their first big splash.

So, the references proves wat_tyler's point about conventional wisdom. I still don't agree with it, no matter who the historian is. I know that TRex is generally thought as the first glam group. I just can't accept it. (My issue, i guess.)

I mean, i was living and breathing as a glitter-boy at the time. I knew the history as it was being made! I didn't have long hair and didn't wear beat up jeans or leather vests. I pissed my parents off by going full-bore glam!
