He’s the guy on the left.From Twitter - is Gelato on the left or right? I didn't like to ask on there due to it revealing I don't know anything about shirts. (I think left?)

No, I suspect he was using The Police as a random example of "mainstream rock" (certainly in terms of what they became, maybe not where they started) whereas the The Smiths were "alternative" - that's all.In a recent interview with Joe Rogan, Jakob Dylan (son of that Dylan) was discussing music tribalism when he said that, back in the '80s, you could be a fan of The Police or The Smiths, but you couldn't be a fan of both. As I was too young to know any better in the '80s, I wonder how much truth there is to this statement? Were The Police and The Smiths really representative of rival musical factions? If so, this is the first I've heard of it...
New sighting (feel free to add to its own thread if necessary etc... )
Very cute thread on Facebook, which I can't share due to group restrictions, but this story stood out (especially the train driver's/railway signalman's cap; if you know, you know). My heart aches for the poor Saab though.

Wonderful. Thank You for posting from your o super secret FB caverns.
The Holy Grail now is a snap of Him in that cap. í always figured it was so "treasured" that he only wore it in the privacy of his indoors.
And í still do like to think that it could be one of Will Hay's costume caps from the great "Oh, Mr Porter!" {1937} that Moz somehow acquired from someone somewhere...

I always thought it was a joke. Or a very kinky secret.
I LOVE the fact that Stanley was thoughtful enough to include a description of the post-cap quiff! 'Immaculate' - naturally! I've noticed it before when he wore a hat during Smiths-era appearances - 'he doesn't get hat hair.'
Such is the magic of The Quiff .
Thank You also for passing along Stanley's tale, as it contains that section on his poster loss. That helped, a little...
