Propaganda: “HAVE YOU SEEEEN THEMMMM???? these men never lost their looks as they aged. smoking hot 20 somethings to smoking hot 40 somethings. in their own words, "we was glam" and "we were all stunning". all four had impeccable style choices 99% of the time, from leather jackets and wraps to monochrome to undone blazers and ties to brightly coloured /everything/. Deacon changed his hair style every few years and even in just tshirts and booty shorts, never missed. Roger had a sleazy mullet and sunglasses for what felt like forever, hot Persian dad, did not miss. Brian forgot how to fully button shirts. bell bottoms. same hair for 50 years. no misses. even after Freddie got sick and started wearing makeup and had to grow a beard to cover up, MAN NEVER FUCKIN MISSED. he was beautiful to the day he died. and thats not even touching on the leather daddy look from the early 80s.king shit. we love wrinkles and laugh lines in this gd house. if they don't sweep I’m blowing this whole website up we was glam”

‘Tailpieces’ by the ‘Alley Cat’ was a music industry gossip column which dominated the back-page of the New Musical Express. The ‘Alley Cat’ was in fact the pesuodomyn of the paper’s owner, Maurice Kinn.
Brian Epstein was a friend of Kinn and his wife Berenice, and was frequently mentioned in the column. (you can read some of the pieces HERE)
PICTURED: Brian Epstein and Maurice Kinn, February 1964
The ‘Alley Cat’ was renowned for caustic and critical comments, and despite Kinn’s friendship with Brian Epstein, NEMS acts were not spared, with remarks along the lines of: ‘Memo to Brian Epstein: What has happened to Tommy Quickly’s disc career?’ (NME, December 3, 1965) and ‘Too affected: Cilla Black’s accent?’ (NME, November 19, 1965)
