Was Jet Black the oldest musician active in the original punk scene? My dad was born only two years before Jet, but I couldn't imagine him in a rock band.
Is anything known about the bands Jet played with in the 50s and 60s? And what are the other books he wrote apart from the one about Nice?
I only saw him and the band once, when they toured Australia in 1979. Here's an interesting article about some of the media reactions to the band at the time:
Anyways, RIP Jet Black

Probably, makes Penny Rimbaud look like a toddler. The Stranglers were playing a couple of years before the balloon went up. I was never a massive fan of the group but JB came across as the coolest one. |

Rimbaud is 79, Charlie Harper is 78. I can't think of many who are older.🤔
Jet was the oldest unless anyone can think of anyone else. I mean when Iggy Pop started getting prolific, JB would have been in his early 30's....

I think she was 80 so Jet was the oldest swinger in town.
It's mad that the old school were all men and women when punk broke and we were just spotty weans whose knowledge of life you could write on the back of a stamp.

Aye, good for the Subs.👍
The Stranglers were one of the first 'big gigs I went to in the old Glasgow Apollo in 79, though it might have been 1980...🤔
