Re guitar banger. They obv weren’t decent guitar player, because all guitarists keep their fingernails on the hand used on the fretboard short, otherwise they couldn’t play properly.Yes, it's amazing how PRUDISH we can be amidst «fashionable» displays that would make a horny Marine blush! What is it with women whose boobs are jacked-up and jutting out to the point where at the slightest jar they'd come rocketing right out of their spandex «scoop-top» and football players hanging those silly little towels over the crotches of their semi-transparent skin-clinging pants. A lot of it is the INSECURITY of so many men who grow up from boyhood being constantly warned «don't act/look GAY» which is defined by the most backward elements of society. I remember once lifting a hand from a piano keyboard to look at my nails because they felt a little too long and being loudly rebuked by the guitar-bangers and trombone-blowers «THAT's SOOOOO GAY» and waving fists with their fingers curled inward. As a wag of my acquaintance would often opine: «The veneer of civilisation is mighty thin» and he wasn't exaggerating!
i remember seeing the late, great John Martyn in his prime, stop after the first number, pull out an emery board and file a nail down.
Given that he could start an argument in an empty room and wasn’t exactly shy in reinforcing his point if necessary by giving his opponent a ‘Glasgow kiss’, I’d have liked to see anyone try and tell him that was gay!
