I think it was around 1980 that MACY'S had "punk" outfits on mannequins in the windows in NYC. The term became a common dismissal of yet another "youth movement" being appropriated by the stores.
Cut to the scene in HARD DAY'S NIGHT when Harrison is being interrogated by the clothing buyer of some unknown store thinking he knows what his customer's will want next. Flummoxed by Harrison's disinterest of his new styles he realizes he needs to change his plans.
Does make you wonder if the chicken/egg conundrum is at work?
Deborah Harry has maintained much of her beauty.
Someone posted a concert performance here a few months ago. Never heard them live. I was surprised that she really could perform. When someone LOOKS LIKE THAT you figure they are "punching" in the vocals in the studio and hoping the noise of the band will drown out the flubs in concerts. Instead this was recorded in such a way that she was naked in the mix, no chance for screw-ups being glossed over. I was impressed and gratified that she was real.
