Other Assorted People

Christine
Born agen Christian bitch who wore a polystyrene chastity belt. Less said about her - the better!

Beat Poet c.1959

I remember in the late 1950's when I was deep into Rock 'n' Roll and the Teddy Boy culture, I once saw the light of a jukebox through a pub window in Soho, went in and found it was full of bearded wierdos in black duffel-coats - some of them were pretty old - in their 20's and 30's! 

Something called Dave Brubeck was coming from the jukebox, and when this was turned off, one of the 'weirdos'  stood on a chair and read a poem that didn't rhyme.

I exited there pretty fast, and went to the old Freight Train coffee bar in Berwick Street!

Assassin
This is what comes of reading too much Graham Greene!


Ageing Hippy



 There are still a few of these about. Perhaps I'm one myself - but then perhaps not, as I never got into cow-bells and flowers in my hair (which I still had in the 60's!).

But the music was good. I've still got my Bob Dylan, Donovan, Joan Baez, Dave Van Ronk, Incredible String Band and Jimi Hendrix records.
