Some of us take a while to catch up. Only just looked up the origin of the band's name today to find my dear old Mr Shelton (at a school in England in the early 70's) wasn't the first teacher of that era to drive kids from school with persistent nagging about hair length. I left too for that very reason - only difference is I failed to become a great musician!
Can't win 'em all I guess - at least we can play covers and enjoy the nostalgia!
