@[foreverdrone:37121] In the nineteen-sixties, there was a minor retro fashion trend of young men carrying walking sticks. As to the initial reason, it may have been self-defense, since long haired hippy-type guys were targets for red-necks who might want to beat them up. It was both fancy and practical. In the context of the song, with her wearing silver, she would be saying - "let's fancy up to go out on the town". I'm a little too young to have done had one as a fashion statement, but my oldest brother was 20 in 1966, and he had a fancy walking stick. |
