"Don't take no for an answer" - Tom Robinson Band
Take a look at the folk lounging on the scenery in the wide shot - surely that's David Jensen, Esq.
Tom's in his school uniform, and the pink triangle of homosexual men (the rainbow flag wouldn't be invented for a few months).
The keyboardist rocks in furry gloves but boring jeans are a little off-mode.
Almost perfect punk: sharp, punchy, leaves us wanting more.
#TomRobinson still an amazing singer and song writer, sharing his stories, and belting out some updated #Protest #Antifa songs
Sing if you're glad to be gay
#AdamPhilips providing guitar accompliment, and performed a couple of songs of his own work.
#EmmaHowett was a great support singer too
Tom Robinson said what others only hinted at. I wrote about what came before and after "Glad To Be Gay" at https://tnocs.com/the-road-before-and-after-sing-if-youre-glad-to-be-gay/
"Goin' places" - The Jacksons (and charts)
"2-4-6-8 motorway" - Tom Robinson
Tom wears the pink triangle badge, a symbol reclaimed by homosexual men from its abuse by the nazi regime. The rainbow flag ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ had not yet been invented.
Gilbert Baker designed the eight-stripe pennant, at the instigation of new SF mayor Harvey Milk; it first flew in june of [the following year].
There should be a campaign to get #GladToBeGay to number one in the UK singles chart to support #TomRobinson
The most excellent Grace Petrie on the wireless with Tom Robinson for the next hour!

That'll do nicely!

Happy 75th birthday Tom Robinson, Born 1st June 1950
"I donโt care what categorization they put us in if they still listen to the band. "

Awww, Tom Robinson is a loveable Queer Elder on the 6 Music, he was just appreciating how far we've come as a society since he was a teenager "and you could go to PRISON for four years for loving the wrong sex"
How quickly it can all be taken away though....
