So Would you be a Mod Or a Rocker?


??? Elaborate.
Me? When I was a teenager, definitely a Rocker. Now, probably a Mod.

Give me a Norton, Triumph or Vincent, but those Mods got the little chicks.

I would have to say a rocker, I love the leather jackets

Ironically, this question actually rattled around in my brain for quite some time when I saw this movie in theaters. When I saw this movie as a (barely) teen in 1979, the big question... a least in my pathetic hometown... was whether you were a "freak" (who listened to rock, wore long hair, etc.) or a "greaser" (who listened to disco music and dressed... well... like a greaser). Clearly, based on every obvious measure, the 1965 rockers were the freaks and the mods were greasers. Yet, I was a HUGE fan of The Who and they were a mod band. It was just a bit too much for a confused 13-year-old to figure out.
