To put it into a US context, which band in 1976 in the States would have done that on a non-"art" basis? Richard Hell's the only one I can think of....any more suggestions?

Truer words were never spoken.

I was thinking exactly about Steve Jones, my favourite Pistol, when I posted earlier. I mean, the man was the least gay-looking dude in the world ever, he'd wrap his head in handkerchiefs and wear truck driver-like vests, and still he looked totally great. The cherry on the cake is also the fact that with that little effort he shagged more girls than a successful porn star.
