Yes. They’d been the Ants of Adam and the Ants. Adam Ant had to get other Ants.

No. Long gone.

All my stuff is long gone.

I’ve seen stuff I lost in a storage spot I stopped paying on go for decent money.

I saw Adam and the Ants once. 1980.

Age of Consent is a great song. Classic.

Age of Consent link

Oddly enough, I was watching Milo Y. dissection/analysis videos prior to this thread. ;)

Yes, I think they did. Not as familiar with JD, though.

That would be what they called, the "New Romantic," look.

Loved that whole era.

Wish someone would just take me away, back to that better time.

A. I just barely recall the first one. I always thought a girl was singing.
B. I don’t recall this Patti Smyth, but I do recall a Patti Smith who looked the opposite of this pretty girl.
The Patti Smith I recall had an album called ‘Horses’.
She was like a female Tom Waitts. Dressed like a Peter Pan in loose, dirty clothes.
C. No recollection of this group, but I know the song ‘Only The Lonely, by Roy Orbison.

***I saw another flashback one hit wonder; Quarter Flash with
‘Harden My Heart’. That was a very good song. Only that singer could have done it. She had just the right voice,
young, fey and rueful.
