Mike Tramp (pre white lion)

An (ahem) interesting article about Mike Tramp's pre-White Lion days. Mere words can't describe it.

It's interesting to see how the industry uses these artists to shape infrastructure and social perception of how they should live and act in order to conform to whatever social expectations are the rave at the moment. I imagine that what that was in those pictures was just another element of the phenomenon. Kind of like when the dolt said to tell Mike that saving whales isn't rock n roll.

 

To look at that one photo of them in the kitchen reminds me of the industry's role in stimulating or even soliciting a preferred social way of life or thinking. And then demographically we know that many countries do exist in different social lenses. Of course, that's only my opinion.

Those photos and captions are side-splittingly hilarious. Fan, or no fan, you have to admit, they look ridiculous. The idea that someone (or someones) even remotely thought the image portrayed would be perceived as cool boggles the mind. Even at the time, I'm sure those pictures invoked gales of laughter. Dairies should be so lucky to produce cheese of such magnitude.
