    A result of this meeting was the setting up of The Magnet Club in Galleywood (just out of town), which is where the Greasers hung out. Well before my time, but I do know one of the Greasers in the film, and have heard many a tale. They had live music there, including Gene Vincent.

      Mono cultiralism was not perfect. But it was not a descent into hell .
      Personal self expression and social fun is and always was part of our culture.
      The Globakist idea us to eliminate these things and replace it with incomers.
      This is an objective observation.
