Love In The Groovy Age

Still quite distracted, and looks like things will be keyed up for the next couple of weeks yet. Apologies for the erratic schedule on the postings, and it's going to be quite minimal today.

Just a quick observation: Love & lust could be pretty strange back in the ol' Groovy Age...




Swing With Scooter starts to take on a weird different meaning...

Stanley & His Monster cover by Bob Oksner & Tex Blaisdell, Swing With Scooter covers by Joe Orlando with Mike Esposito (#4) and Tex Blaisdell (#12) (1967, 1968)

  1. Late Silver Age covers are the absolute best. Goofy, weird, and fun! They don't make 'em like that anymore unless they are just copying them, which they do a lot.

  2. Somehow they're never the same when more recent artists attempt to copy the style. That sort of "Goofy, weird...fun!" has to come from the heart to really work.
    So those must have been some goofy, weird folks creating that stuff - wish i could have hung out with them for a bit.
