With regard to your several questions...yes, Glamour Boy was inpired by David Bowie, in particular the cover of Aladdin Sane (the cover on which he has a lightning bolt painted on his forehead). We had a poster promoting the single with our very overweight manager dressed in tights and painted the same way...it was really disgusting...
When we first submitted the photo to RCA for distribution, we found that Bowie had copyrighted the logo on his forehead and we were forced to change the makeup on our manager for the poster...a few rare copies of this "less than charming" poster are still running around somewhere...there were also t shirts with the same disgusting picture on them...
The red 57 chevy on Bannatyne's cover was Kurt's car at the time...he had it for a number of years, but then sold it around 1976 and bought a big Cadillac...don't know where the actual red chevy is today...
Yes, I still have the white shoes from inside the cover, as well as the "dalmatian" patterened shirt I wore on the cover pictures...I'm a bit of a pack rat, in that I've saved or held onto almost everything of interest through the years...now that the reunion is a reality, I'm glad I did, because some of this stuff may surface in the tour program book...
Thanks for your interest...

Luck and Health

BC

Hi Burton
With respect to Kurt's '57 Chevy - When I was doing the FP story on the KY-58 Hotrod last Summer Gary McLean suggested a hunt for it. I've put out several feelers in the classic car community and checked out one possible last Fall but it didn't pan out. Do you remember if the interior colour was black, red or grey? I was hoping to turn up something by this Summer but it's doubtful. If you want old cars for any part of the show let me know.

Keep on Rockin'

Now that you mention it, there's been a a lot of hope for a range of merchandise for this tour. Really liked the stuff from the '83 tour - good designs. Autographs on front of the shirts was a nice touch. Like the ad design (in the newspapers) for the current tour using the old style Guess Who logo.

Luxton,
Thanks for the reply. I've pondered these silly little questions over the years and never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect the real answers from Burton himself. This whole cyberchat stuff still blows me away. In college I had a pair of white shoes similar to the Bannatyne ones and I proudly referred to them as my show biz shoes. I've still got mine too.
