Laurel Aitken - Skinhead

Laurel Aitken & the Pressure Tenants at Gaz's 1989

[@StanSaquii]

i can send you a copy of the whole show - i'm the keyboard player in this band. Laurel was the greatest an honour to be in his band for so long. An Inspiration to my parents generation in england in the sixties. We had all his records from that period.

the late great man , true skinheads were not nazi's, ska brought white and blacks together it was a great time early 80s and proud to have so many Caribbean friends .. miss you laurel 💙

[@ticyanaticy8451]

So far so good. But IT starts in 69. With sounds from jamaica and all the West indies people. In England they had to live door by door in poorer parts. So It came to a Mix up of white and Black music.

The very existence of SHARP skins is to assume that NON-SHARP SKINS must be racist, which is why SHARPS (Red) Skins AND fake Hollywood brand (bone)head skins both suck. Traditional skins (reggae variety and oi! fans are the only real skins. It's working class but not commie or nazi.

[@ghjyjghyhs2638]

+Andreas Deutsch Rock & Rac you can't be a Nazi and a punk at the same time. Punk bedeutet in den Kontext Rebellion, Rebellion gegen die konservative Gesellschaft und insbesondere früher gegen alte Bestrebungen in dieser Gesellschaft. Ein Punk ist grundsätzlich antiatoritär gepolt das macht ihn ja auch irgendwie zum Punk, deshalb ist es nur logisch das ein solcher auch eine Gesellschaft anstreben in der keine hierarchische Struktur existiert. Wenn man sich selbst "punk" nennt und gleichzeitig n Fascho ist, wogegen rebelliert mann denn dann? Punk War und wird immer klar antifaschistisch bleiben alles andere ist kein Punk.
