Weren't the 50s great?
There's a marvellous club peopled by men with brillcreamed quiffs and
spider web elbow tattoos, ladies with perfect eyebrows and fringes. And
the music is proper Rock and Roll with a bit of old fashioned R&B.
Sometimes there is jiving and lindy hopping.
It's called All Tore Up. And it's great.
We all came to the conclusion that the 50s were great because:
You were allowed to be fat
You were allowed to be old
You were allowed to be ugly
You were allowed to be happy
You were allowed to be short
You could wear your shirt tucked in
You could wear high waisted jeans
You could wear curtains as a dress or skirt
You could wear bobby socks
You were allowed to be uncool
Men were allowed to dance with each other and enjoy themselves.
I'll let you think up the negatives. Goodnight.
