His bangs in the 70's were so . . . not manly. Good to see he's keeping up the 70's tradition of wearing a Kimono. These guys did it with style and a look that only Canadians can pull off. I think Alex is smuggling a bullfrog in his pants. Edited November 29, 2020 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Notice Frank is flashing the ''V" "Peace Sign" backward. Isn't that the same thing in England as in the USA as our middle finger? Edited November 29, 2020 by Sgt.
