''Cool Reflections''-What Was Your ''Coolest'' Moment As A Mod.
We all have had ''THAT'' moment when we have said something or done something pretty ''cool'' as a Mod, that makes you think for a precious minute ''Hey, I'm a Mod, this is what being a Mod is all about!!!' I have had my share, one was in the Italian Centre Friday Street dance here in Glasgow a few years back, saw this girl Jenny Hunter, we hadn't seen each other for about 17 years, we were over the moon after the hug. The Kingsmens ''Louie,Louie'' opening bars was being played and I just said ''Wanna dance with a Face???'' Total ''Quadrophenia'' moment, priceless!!!!!!!! What's your ''Cool Reflections'' The title comes from a book of Poetry signed by Senator Eugene McCarthy and given to me by the man himself at The International Society Of Poets in Washington D.C 1997, not bad for a ''wee Mod fae Glesga'' Look forward to hearing your replies.

I'd just walked outside (from The Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush where The Who Convention was being held) for a breather and after taking up the pose started chatting to the bouncer who's mum used to be mod in the 60s.
There I was in my best mohair suit when Richard Barnes (who was there to sign his book "The Mods") walks outside for a f** and stops in his tracks and says "fook me! you're Mariott... no Jones... no... you ARE The Small Faces!!! We had a good chat and he said I was just like the Mods that hung out there around Shepherds Bush in the 60s - made my day :o) Oh and Bruce Foxton had also given me a "nod" of respect an hour earlier (nice guy Bruce).

When me Craig and Scott walked into a bar in Antwerpen on a warm March Friday afternoon and orders 3 beers when Toby from Gene Drayton Unit who I had never met before shouted over "you'se must be the lads from Edinburgh - come over and join us"
One of lifes nice moments - we also had the pleasure of their company when we followed them over to Brussels the following day to see their last ever gig.

Chris Farlowe on stage at the 100 Club, he's about to sing "All Or Nothing", in memory of Steve Marriott, when he asks "Any Mods down here tonight?", he turns, looks at me and says, "Yeh, I saw you!". I suppose the midnight blue suit with the 4-point folded bright red square and matching tie were a give away.
At the end of the gig an older, original 60s mod comes up to me and says "It's good to see that standards are being kept!"
"Ofcourse", I replied, "We've got to be smart!".
I felt about 10 feet tall, which ain't bad for a shorty!
