Punky Meadows – from 7o’s outfit Angel – Kiss’ Casablanca Records labelmates and makers of some damn fine rock records. They also had a cleverly designed logo, which I’ll write about soon. I can remember a heavy metal bumblebee associate in the mid-80’s who had the word ‘Punky’ adorned on his uniform (ie denim jacket which was what metalheads wore back then) which was his tribute to his idol…I guess. Punky had the looks and chops and a pout that many screen sirens would die for. Hard to believe Mr Meadows is now 60 years old, but he is a definite starter in the ‘Rockers Who Looked Like Chicks’ category – don’t ya reckon ! Next !!!!
Immortalised by Frank Zappa in the number “Punky’s Whips”.
