shirt sweat . essence of rock'n'roll



















In nineteen seventysomething, on the premise that 
people would find something deep and visceral in 
the real article, the NME ran a competition to win 
Lee Brilleaux's sweat stained and grubby 
white jacket - a garment that had proported to 
have absorbed the essence of rock'n'roll from 
the recent Dr Feelgood tour.


Last night I spent an hour engaged in the performance 
of rock'n'roll - my shirt has since gone to the wash, 
but this photograph remains as a testimony to the fact.
