Before I reveal the answer, anyone care to guess? Clues - Male American Deceased And he’s probably not the person you’re thinking of. Ok as an hour has passed, the answer is… Rodney Dangerfield. Yes that’s right, Mr Dangerfield was finally able to earn some respect when he launched his own website in March 1995. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted May 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) If it's mid-60s as suggested, the clothes and hairstyles are rather retro, so it would suggest one of those throwback rock'n'roll acts like The Wild Angels. EDIT: Just noticed "WILD AN..." on the poster behind them. Edited May 4, 2022 by mjmooney 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veloman Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 No I didn't know but Wild Angels looks like it ! They were really big on the University circuit ; I once played a small gig at Manchester University and they were in the main hall. Excellent Rock and roll band I thought. We were never good enough to break into that scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
