icons of the era |
|
|
Now this is personally a matter of taste but here are some images of my heroes and icons of the sixties. |
|
 |
john Lennon
goes without saying really!!, my favourite Beatle, the most talented and the coolest! |
|
Michael Caine what can I say, who would have thought a cockney with horn rimmed glasses could be so cool. Brilliant film career, brilliant actor and style icon. |
 |
 |
Marilyn Monroe
The lady needs no blurb from me, the picture says it all. |
|
Pete Townshend Who guitarist, writer and genius. Smasher of well over a hundred guitars and sound equipment and my last word on the matter is innocent until proven guilty!!! |
 |
 |
Steve Marriott
Small faces front man powerful voice from something so small !!!!!!!!!!!!!! fashion icon to young mods |
|
Michael Nesmith The coolest and again most talented member of the Monkees, with a highly underrated solo career, and he invented MTV y'know!!! |
 |
 |
The Goons
Sadly none of them are still with us, but as they say Goon but not forgotten!!!!!!!!!(I apologise profusely for that one) |
|
Patrick Magoohan The guy who wrote and starred as the prisoner and turned down the part of James Bond (well we can all be a bit daft sometimes) incidentally the role was given to Shaun Connery on Magoohan's decline. |
 |
 |
Ray Davies
Kitchen sink poet of the mods, writer of songs reflecting the everyday "modern" English lifestyle and part of some really entertaining brawling with guitarist brother Dave. |
|
John Entwistle Recently departed in a Las Vegas hotel room from a heart attack caused by an alcohol and cocaine overdose with a stripper! and they say rock and roll is dead!!!! |
 |
|
 |
Spike Milligan
What can you say? absolute genius father of surreal comedy and sadly missed. |
