Julian I'm sure by now you know what my own feelings on modernism are.
You even agreed wholeheartedly when I laid out my philosophy in 3 posts
last year (or was it the year before?)
I'm sure you realise I don't mean 1962 should be some kind of 'cut-off
point for mod style'... Mod style is timeless. Anyway fans, capes and
long hair pre-date 'mod' by...erm..... well at least a hundred years!!!
Think Oscar Wilde..
I was merely talking history. What I meant, roughly, was that 'mod' was
a different thing altogether after 1962. I believe pre-1962 'modernists'
are a different thing altogether to the post-1962 'mods'. I happen to
relate to the former rather than the latter (though I feel most others
are the opposite).
At least Dom walks it like he talks it.
So do I Julian. So do I.
