NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT [Episode #315 ~ 07-09-22]
Pictured: Marc Bolan & Mickey Finn of T. Rex.
Foppish effeminacy was a current in rock’n’roll from the beginning, most blatantly with Little Richard. But it was particularly pronounced in British pop. This came about partly because of a Tin Pan Alley tradition of gay managers with a flair for finding pretty boys whose non-threatening sexuality appealed to teenage girls. But it also had something to do with the art-school system, which infused the British rock scene with a bohemian laxness as regards appearance and sexual conduct. In his 1969 book Bomb Culture, Jeff Nuttall recalls the mid-sixties moment when art-school attitudes filtered into the beat-group scene: ‘Shoes were painted with Woolworth’s lacquer. Both sexes wore make-up and dyed their hair … “Kinky” was a word very much in the air. Everywhere there were zippers, leathers, boots, PVC, see-through plastics, male make-up, a thousand overtones of sexual deviation …’
— Simon Reynolds, Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and its Legacy.
