How cool is this... moonstomping on stage with the specials... it dosent get any better..... you can talk about 68/69 skinheads.....but for me it was all about the late 70's when i was growing up in inner london and having the freedom of movement ... i just know the kids of today would love to have an identity like we did back then.... and it as strong today........ ska was music you woke up to.... walked the streets with..... and danced to....

I remember when I first heard The Specials using and embracing the term I was very confused and a bit shocked. Thankfully some of my British friends educated me on the original meaning of the term. What's the old saying? Two countries divided by a common language. Anyway hope all is well, Cheers!
