The early 70s in Britain saw the dawn of glam rock and David Bowie. Musicians that look or are in fact drunk or high, can't talk straight but are no less musically inclined. Imagine them cavorting in their expensive hotel rooms, smoky, messy but no less sophisticated. Not a big fan of the outwardly self-destructive and decadent images, my fascination is limited only to the elaborate costumes and deconstructed glamor. He died before the whole era played out, but Jimi Hendrix said that, "music is a safe kind of high." How about decor--play pretend? Interpret it into a living room? Why not. Call it polished punk.
