Are you a Mod or a Rocker?*

I suspect a bit of both, but must be mod first!

Ah, well, you may be waiting a while to find out; I don't think he's on Ironworks right at the moment, unless mods can hide out.

I would not be too surprised if the mods hang out as guests. Just so we don't feel like we're always being watched.

. I always suspected that [img]tongue.gif[/img] .[/QUOTE]We have a winner!In the film A Hard Days Night, a journalist asks Ringo if he's a "mod or a rocker?" His droll response: "a mocker." Mods were a post-WWII British working-class youth subculture that arose thanks to the increased economic opportunities (white-collar office work) for young people after the war. This subculture has been loosely characterized by a competitive, snobbish emulation of the middle class through elements of style and consumption (elegant suits, narrow trousers, and pointed shoes, use of motor scooters, etc.) Musically, mods were inspired by r&b and early soul. Rockers, another subculture, are more or less equivalent to US biker groups: motor-bikes, black leather and studs. Musically, rockers favored classic rock 'n' roll. Pretty goofy thread, I know. But after the Pakistan & India thread I made yesterday, I need to post something silly and useless. Mark |

Well, pooky! I run errands and NOW look what happens! I lose the answer and I didn't even know it had been asked!
And, FYI, yes I knew it was "Mocker". Hard Day's Night is one of my fave Beatles movies; the other one being Yellow Submarine. (Didn't care for Help and I think Magical Mystery Tour I'd have to be ingesting some interesting substances to really get the full effect of.) So my question back to you, Mark, is this: "What do you call that haircut?" -Saz
