Talk:Rockers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am interested in discussing this subject with any original rockers from the 1960s who can qualify what has been written.
There has been quite a bit of re-writing and romantic mythologising happen on the subject and it would be good to get it down to the objective reality.
Thanks.

Look, I appreciate our Empire waned many a year ago and your command of our language and culture may be in its prime - but if you don't speak English-English and were not around in the 1960s, please don't hack around blindly with this article, e.g. ; " pants " are something dogs do and women wear under their skirts.
This is one bit of culture we own the original franchise on!

I'm irritated at how many times I've noticed this article re-written with absolute nonsense about what Rockers 'wore' or 'believed in' or what Rockers were 'influenced by'. IF YOU ARE NOT A ROCKER, EITHER MODERN DAY OR FROM THE HEYDAY IN ENGLAND, STOP INSERTING THINGS ABOUT US THAT ARE NOT TRUE AS IF YOU WERE ONE OF US!!!!! WE ARE NOT GREASERS (USA), ROCKABILLIES AND WE ARE NOT INTO HEAVY METAL, HARD ROCK, PSYCHADELIC ROCK, REGGAE OR SKA!! WE DON'T DRESS LIKE BUDDY HOLLY AND WE DON'T RIDE JAPANESE BIKES!! POSERS AND FOOLS, PLEASE LEAVE THIS ARTICLE ALONE!! There are at least 3 really good books about us Rockers that you posers and article hackers can read for yourself and see what we are all about, in fact there are direct quotes from one of those books in this actual Wikipedia/Rockers article. Lets have some HONEST and FACTUAL journalism here please.
THANKYOU, ROCKERS FROM LOS ANGELES.

[edit] What?
I'm curious as to what this has to do with anything?
The Rock star Nicky had a live concert in Sheffield Park. Someone in the background was shouting like a maniac.The name of the kid was Liam Batty. He sang "I Wanna Rock", "I just rang" and "Love Fist". Nicky was borni in Sheffield, Yorkshire and moved to London at the age of 22, when he moved out. He stayed with his mother for 22 years to make sure she would be ok when he left. At the age of 30 he began to be a rock star. We cannot show a photo of him, he doesn't like having his photo taken. He will only be photographed when he has his make-up on.
Yeah, I'm going to revert the article back to how it was before.Lairor 08:14, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
