anyone knows any academic articles talking about (primarily British) punk rockers and their successors’ obsession with native north americans? from like siouxsie sioux literally naming herself after a native north american group, to the lyrics in kings of the wild frontier and just the general fashion they wore (anabella lwin had a sort of long loose mohawke as her signature hairstyle + her dance moves that are a lot like indigenous sweetheart dances/adam ant that was even confronted by natives about the way he dressed according to an article by the guardian in 1981) they borrow A LOT from indigenous ppl

This song is Bow Wow Wow at their loony, wild, fun-loving best. It doesn’t stray into the iffy sexual or “exotic” territory that some of their songs do, nor does it feel disjointed--it’s really just them, working together and having a blast. Musically,  there’s some astoundingly nimble guitar work, along with the classic Burundi-beat drums and Anabella Lwin’s fiery, spirited vocals. An absolute blast, a shot of dopamine straight to the soul.

Happy Birthday Brian Alexander (B.A) Robertson  born 12 September, 1956, in Glasgow.

Educated at the former Allan Glen's School in the city, B.A had a number of hit singles in the late 70's/80's beforehand though he wrote a few songs for others, the most notable being two Cliff Richard songs, Carrie and Wired for Sound. I wonder how many remember the BBC Scotland show "Maggie"? Well Robertson wrote the theme to that as well as the theme to Multi-Coloured Swap Shop and "their" hit song as Brown Sauce the 20 hit, "I Wanna Be a Winner".

B.A's first big hit single was "Bang Bang, it reached number 2 in 1979, he also had a big hit with Maggie Bell, of a cover version of "Hold Me". He also dueted with Frida Lyngstad on the song Time. 

As I said earlier he is better known in the business for writing songs for others, he went back to this when his own hits dried up, I am sure many of you will know   Mike + The Mechanics, well Robertson penned their lyrics for hits "Silent Running" and "The Living Years" The latter was written after Robertson's father died twelve weeks before the birth of his own son, and was nominated for a Grammy Award for it of the Year in 1990.

I can't leave a post about B.A Robertson without mentioning, arguably the best song by A Scottish World Cup Squad, "We Have a Dream" that got to number 5 in the charts! 

Robertson also had a go at presenting, and looking back on him now it is pretty painful, including a spat with Anabella Lwin of Bow Wow Wow, others he "interviewed" were Billy Mackenzie with the Associates, and Alex Harvey.
