I was waiting behind a bus at some traffic lights last night and on the back was a poster advertising a Status Quo concert. It had a picture of Rossi and Parfitt posing with their guitars akimbo and evidently in a state of high amusement at something or other.

Anyway, although I know Rossi lost the pony tail some time ago, I was shocked to see that for those elderly ladies and gentlemen who still cling to the idea that someone, somewhere is keeping the flame of the 1970’s alive for them, that hope is now finally extinguished.

It’s all over. Parfitt’s had a haircut.

Yes but he did need it, bald and a ponytail? Nope, not a good look.

Parfitt’s had a haircut.

Does not compute. Hair is all he is.

Crikey, I never thought I would see the day. Quo fan myself, hope that isn’t the source of all his powers!!

It just doesn’t look right!!

I can guarantee you their “powers” were lost long long before their hair.

Oh well. Margarita, anyone?

I’m not sure if they’ve actually ‘cut’ anything – or whether with the aid of several cans of hairspray and a wire frame, they’ve skillfully rerouted it into the worlds greatest combover!

I thought ‘the end’ was when you start liking Quo?

I have a copy of this

It’s a 33, but for several reasons it’s better at 45. Mostly because it’s over quicker.

The haircut may improve the path to his ears? A renaissance comes?

DOn’t you think he looks more and more like Chris Rea every day?

If Pablo Zabaleta likes Quo I like Quo!

Nnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 🙂
