A unusual song - The arc of a group’s career as detailed by the group themselves. Starts with the innocence of early days, moves on to some fleeting early success and just as they were thinking of quitting, a lucky break and proper rock and roll fame, ‘All the Young Dudes’! Finally growing tired of the trappings of fame and the juvenile nature of the pop music business, it’s a knowing, but happy and grateful look back at the journey. Ultimately nostalgic for a particular moment just before they hit the big time, for the listener it’s also highly evocative of the glam rock era in Britain, particularly the flamboyant fashion and joyful songs.
