so let me get this straight, you're too lazy to fill your name out on the
website, but you've got plenty of energy to do all this?

Subject: Re: don't understand
I see exactly what you mean and I have two things to say about that:
1. It would seem that the current desirable things for mods are what was
current in the 60's. Of course that was true then as well, largely because
those things were exactly that: current. It's not for nothing that they were
called modernists I'd suspect. Admittedly I'm no expert but it would seem
that to carry the true spirit of the thing people would have to be listening
to the current cutting edge of music, driving the current cutting edge of
car (or bike) and wearing the current cutting edge of fashion. So you don't
see too many mods painting up an '98 buick regal all fancy and calling it
mod, or wearing the current line of tommy hilfiger and calling it mod 'cause
it's not, it's an '98 buick regal or it's the current line of tommy
hilfiger.
2. I have my doubts as to whether anything from the mid eighties through
late nineties could ever be considered classic anyway.
