Well, when we see where Peter went with costume and make-up it would be hard for me to believe that he wasn't a fan of Arthur Brown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5hs3IDETcg

Of course Arthur is best known for this classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unqkoqw0cuE

Thinking about this band, I watched this vid and was struck by how the young PG looked like Edie Sedgwick. I know the big eyes, black polo look was ubiquitous but its more than that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0d5rH45Ux0

(Thanks to Little R.) we might also include- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8pvXLVu8Yk

Huh, I already thought that about Edie Sedgwick too once. Especially with this look on her face: http://www.warholstars.org/indfoto/esvel66.jpg There are some photos of Gabriel with the same facial expression. That's when I thought of a similarity. Unfortunately I cannot find such a picture of Gabriel right now.

Oh yeah and Tree Mouse, I posted I Put A Spell On You done by Nina Simone cuase I read several times that it was once his favourite song. He loves Nina Simone I think. In the biography somebody said he saw him singing standing on a table at Charterhouse and trying to sound like Nina Simone. Ha! Dude tried to sound like a lady! Great!

Fantastic posts Soil. You've made my day! Agree TOTALLY about the look on ES's face!

I know this is not quite there but love the expression on Peter's face. Ooh. Hope the link works. http://api.ning.com/files/rqweCnCXeJo-ovtcbpllazvmiNTukJ-KIliU66KC1XL0hiWZJCB*NsRaOcn7nES3iVCJ-ux378UVEKvtrXoL4KYaTqlVvq3t/pega010.jpg :-]

Very close though Duddy!

I think that's his croquet face when he's just missed or dropped the ball on his foot! :-]

ha! PG and his croquet. Great photo Duddy! And he's wearing the leather jacket.

The jacket is so tight, I wonder if it was Jill's.

I like it Soil, wherever he got it from. :-]

God I've laughed a lot tonight! Duddy and the Soil. A formidable comedy double-act! Also found this. . . http://mitkadem.homestead.com/files/genesis_tresspass_1970.jpg

Oh well, my pleasure Tree Mouse!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmN8YT9Avg4&feature=related Do you think his parents had this?

Now TM, is it the eyeliner, the lyrics or the charisma?!!! :-]

There's something about the diva-like, yet nervous, self-conscious way she is before she begins to sing. And the eyeliner and charisma. I don't know about the lyrics. Did you spot something Duddy?
