my own personal Blow Up







So I was watching an ancient episode of Revolver, from 1978. 





Boomtown Rats closing the show with a buncha boppy hits, including "She's So Modern"



Modern girls getting down to the New Wave sounds



Hang on, who let this chap in?!




In his white collar shirt, his tie and mustard tank top!




 Looks twice the age of the kids around him - like Roy Kinnear, or a Tory backbencher.




Still, he seems really into it



Letting loose, caught up in the frenzy, eyes scrunched, feeling the music, 


Who was this mystery mustard man?





Here it is in videomotion
