Men Wearing Glasses


Men Wearing Glasses

I suppose if we can have Men at Work, and Men without Hats, we can have Men Wearing Glasses... is there more to life than defunct pop bands?!? Pop bands didn't used to wear glasses much, even if they needed them. There were exceptions, of course, like Buddy Holly. And Elton John was said to have thousands of glasses at his disposal. That puts me in mind of an early Russian Heavy Metal Group that had a song containing the lyrics, "the rain washes off your makeup, and mine" (!!!) They'd missed the point that western bands, even if they've put on tons of white makeup and black lipstick like say, Kiss or glam, don't allude to the fact, for some reason. ... well hey, if it works, don't fix it.
