Fat White Family – Feet
Loving the song and now video for Fat White Family’s Feet – a big hit at Duckie when I was there, I can guess the video also had part in that….Querelle and Genet (in fact I’m guessing the Panther/Cuban ‘rebels’ are a nod to his later work) meets Paul Cadmus, via a comment on the…
