Foxy Lady

Flatmate L has cunningly managed to get her work to pay for us to have Sky. Also her friends have given us their big old TV (our old TV was the smallest you have ever seen, and this, combined with a very fuzzy reception, made our TV-watching experience akin to that of viewers in the early 50s.)

Now we have a million choices, and you can actually see them all! Just watched a bit of a programme called Jimi Hendrix, not sure which channel it was but if it represents what's on offer, I'll be glued to the box. Basically, over the track of "Foxy Lady", it had a red-haired woman in a fox fur coat and knee-length white vinyl boots, running away from the camera through what looked like an NCP carpark. ("I'm coming to getcha...") Genius! Was it an early form of video? It looked authentically 60s - no hairdresser nowadays could achieve that volume of backcombing.
