Always young, always drunk: what the rebels of the 60s look like now
We present to you a photo project of the London photographer Muir Vidler called Rebels Without a Pause ("Rebels out of time"), dedicated to the British informal people of the 60s.
Former party-goers and retired-age rebels are still "in the stream" many years later: tattooed old women, skinhead gamers, elderly skateboarders, mods, fire-eaters, nudists and rock ' n ' roll fans.
Moore Vidler was born in 1975 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Currently lives in London. Works in the genres of portrait and reportage photography. Vidler's clients include GQ, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Esquire, New York Times Magazine, and Time.
1. John J. Byrne. "I'm a real skinhead from 1969, but despite my age, I still hang out with my younger brothers, and I like being like this."
2. Mick and Peggy Varner. London punks from the 1970s. Still happy together.
3. Danny Lynch, nicknamed the Great Volcano Stromboli. "I'm many years old, but I'll still breathe fire even when those bastards bury me."
4. Ruaridh Clark, member of the Freedom to Be Yourself Society. A committed nudist, still fighting for his rights to be naked and ready to defend his beliefs in a hundred years.
5. Isabel Varley. "I got my first tattoo at the age of 18, and since then they have only been added. And I also like piercings, I have them wherever possible, and in intimate places, of course…»
6. Ray Cook and Steve Howard. Mods and rockers in the past were very hostile, and now they drink beer together.
7. Adrian Delgoff. "I feel fantastic around the young, I'm like going back 40 years ago, the feeling is just super!»
8. Frankie "Brass Knuckles" Lacey. "I've been craving rock' n 'roll since 1958, it's in my blood, fuck my age, rock' n ' roll is alive!»
9. Paul "Elvis" Chan.
10. Motorcycle Club Odd Mod Squad. "Everyone says that every year fashion comes back again, but for us it is dust, we are always in our own stream."
11. Sid Ellis.
