Romeo & Juliet as Mods and Rockers.

My daughter is doing this for a school play. I may be no use with the Shakespeare but have proved invaluable with the soundtrack. I’ve compiled her a Mod playlist and a Rocker playlist, introduced her to dozens of fifties and sixties gems and of course, made her watch Quadrophenia. “Were you a Mod or a Rocker?” she asked. When I indignantly pointed out that I’m far too young to have been either, she asked which I would prefer to have been? Without question, I said a Mod. I’d have preferred a Vespa to a Vincent and sharp suits to oily leathers. But whisper it, the Rockers definitely had the better music.
