The Mod Generation

The Society of Cool

''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.
