This is one of the most intriguing videos I have seen on the youtube so far. A rare film about a lost subculture called Sharpies. Being a Sharpie meant that you had a status between being a skinhead and a rock & roll fan, if I’m correct. It is intriguing to me because I see much of my youth in it. The film is shot in 1974, I was 1 at that time, but some years later, while being a teenager, me and my friends had also serious mullets. So the faces and vibe in this clip remind me somehow vividly of home. Tough and violent but at the same time very safe and peaceful in a way, like some sort of mullet-utopia.
Man, just look again: the shoes at 0:20, the guy at 1:15 or that odd dancing at 2:25…

Totally brilliant combined with the music of Lobby Lloyd.
Note: The Sharp with the mohawk on 2:17 minutes, commented on our post.
