I know I was not the only freak here that WAS into ADAM and the ANTS and BOW WOW WOW?

I do mean Older Ants like 'Kings' and 'Prince Chowmain'..."Prince chowmain ...eggfooyoung is nothing to be scared of" ........at least that how most of my comrads thought of that one at that time.

I still have those moods when Blasting the Ants and Bow wow wow in the car can get me home in the worst of traffic!

come on....its ok...were all friends here....GULP!

Of course! But I was too sheepish to put them in my "changed my life" list. Adam was great in concert and what red-blooded kid didn't think that the teenage Anabella Lwin was the hottest thing around...well, maybe after Cheryl Ladd when she replaced Farah

Well put MYIRWIN!

She was pretty dang interesting! not the best singer in the world but there was something about those ( Classic Hollywood, Indian/Pirate, 60's surfing sounds )....I'm 1/8 Native American so it always hit a deep chord with me.

I love ADAM & THE ANTS and even think that his later stuff was great, too. Saw him on the ill-fated "Wonderful" tour and he was amazing.

You folk in the U.S of A missed a rare treat as yesterday there was a brilliant documentary on Adam Ant and his merry Ants.

It was on our terrestrial station 'Channel 4' at 9 pm which is post watershed so contained loads of bad language of course. I

Jeez, that is so much cooler than any docu's we have. These "where are they now" shows seem stuck on classic rock dregs that have fallen on hard times with no real focus on the music. VH1's "I Love the 80s" was marginally interesting, but their so-called

Thanks M8!

That sounds very cool!

I did see a small thing on some odd cable channle the other nite Malcolm was talking about BWW and how Annabella's Mum got all in a state about her doing nude or half nude pics on the LP covers! HA! that was cool!

Yes XTC all I know is she did find out obviously and the s**t did hit the fan with her mum but Malcolm sweetned her up somehow but i've never found out how - i'll do some digging and see what turns up - it might be in his autobiography but I havn't found

I found out why the cover went ahead with a nude Annabella Lwin.

far out......

BWW may have been a 'brain child band' like many others in the 80's.....but I still like the feel, vibes etc.

Wasn't Frankie goes to' a 'designer'....an 'office drawn up concept band' as well? ...if so WHO CARES!
