Don't forget DS' very own Wild One, the incomparable Buzz Hackett, complete with bomber jacket, boots, stubble, and a hairpiece that resembled barely-taxidermed roadkill.I started over with the Beginning Collection over the summer and really scrutinized Buzz this time around. What a RIOT! [snow_bigglass] I roared with laughter at how big his hair was one day and I was fascinated watching his interactions with the Collins clan, Jason included. Too bad he didn't stick around, he was truly entertaining.
...and was,even in it's own time,a bit "square".
the male characters tended to be either suited up dandies(barnabas,roger)or blue collar joes(joe haskell,tom jennings).even with his muttonchops quentin was still a jacket-wearing member of an upper class family.
i think that 1970 characters like jeb and bruno were a somewhat late attempt at representing the "counterculture" percolating at the time.jeb was,if i recall,a motorcycle riding photographer.sort of a lame "easy rider" if you will.hence the long hair and shaggy coats.kind of lame but that's my impression of it.
Weren't Roxanne and Sebastion Shaw, with their open, 'free love' relationship the epitome of DS's attempts at grooviness, though?
