Categories: Photo project
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/forever-young-forever-drunk-what-do-the-rebels-of-the-60s-look-like-now.htmlWe present to you a photo project by London photographer Muir Vidler called Rebels Without a Pause ("Rebels out of time"), dedicated to the British informals of the 60s.
Former party-goers and rebels of retirement age after many years are still "in the stream": tattooed old women, skinhead gamers, elderly skateboarders, mods, fire swallowers, nudists and rock 'n' rollersmen.

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 Jay Byrne. "I'm a real skinhead from 1969, but despite my age, I still hang out with my young brothers, and I like to be like that."

2. Mick and Peggy Varner. London punks from the 1970s. Still happy together.

3. Danny Lynch, nicknamed the Great Volcano Stromboli. "I'm already many years old, but I'll still breathe fire even when these bastards bury me."

4. Ruaridh Clark, member of the Freedom to Be Yourself Society. A convinced nudist, he is still fighting for his rights to be naked and is ready to defend his beliefs even at the age of a hundred.

5. Isabel Varley. "I got my first tattoo at the age of 18, since then they have only been added. And I also like piercing, I have it wherever possible, and in intimate places, of course..."

6. Ray Cook and Steve Howard. Mods and rockers have been at odds in the past, and now they drink beer together.

7. Adrian Delgoff. "I feel fantastic around the young, I kind of go back 30 years ago, the feeling is just super!"

8. Frankie "Brass Knuckles" Lacey. "I've been craving rock and roll since 1958, it's in my blood, fuck age, rock and roll is alive!"

9. Paul "Elvis" Chan.

10. Odd Mod Squad Motorcycle Club. "Everyone says that every year fashions come back again, but for us it's dust, we're always in our own stream."

11. Sid Ellis.
