The Stranglers Do The Pose
Peter Silverton, Trouser Press, October 1977
EXTREME REACTIONS to the Stranglers are not unusual. Take the case of a mate (well, acquaintance) of mine, Dick O'Dell, tour/road manager for Alex Harvey. Since Alex has been "off the road" for the last ten months (tho' he's "back" now), apart from the SAHB solo tour, Dick has really had nothing to do.
