In praise of - glam rock.

I COULD lie to you.

I could tell you the first single I ever bought was T Rex's Hot Love or David Bowie's Starman. But I think it was Barry Blue's Dancing On A Saturday Night. Barry wore a blue satin suit and his real name was Green. His single contained a bouzouki riff, pop doggerel lyrics and the stomping drums that underpinned most glam records. When I was 10 it sounded like sugar.
