How Old Did You Say You Were, Mr Black ?
So, who is the oldest punk rocker in the world ? I ask that question after reading about a man in Leicester who now uses his weekly pension to follow The Damned. He is known asand I actually met him once when The Undertones played in Leicester a couple of years ago. I suspect that he's introduced to every visiting punk band as a matter of course. It may well be a Leicester tradition, like morris dancing or haddock slapping. "This is Jonno, he's Leicester's Oldest Punk". I think I said hello, pointed to something and then ran in the opposite direction. I never said I was nice, did I ? Jonno's now 66 but he's a callow youth compared to the grand old man of punk, Jet Black. Jet's real name is Brian Duffy and his real age is 72. He's the drummer (and founder) of The StranglersIs he the oldest punk rocker ? No. , of New York electronic duo Suicide, is two months older than him. Is Alan the oldest punk rocker ? That's where my list ends. Anyone older ? Anyone ?
