80's Music Friday: Special Edition
It's the spats I tell you. I love the spats.
For a time Kid Creole was the paragon of what I wanted to be. Caught his show in D.C. in the mid 80's. The band was tight. Prince level tight. James Brown level tight. The show was a happening. We were there for at least 3 hours and begging for more when he finished. I went out and bought a baggy 3 piece wool suit from the thrift shop. Shined my shoes until they'd blind you. Stopped short of conking my hair though.
Endicott is an aspirational video. The "plan" being to stay "free", mocking all the Endicotts along the way.
Undeniably I became one of them.
