The first time I ever read the word 'misogynist' was inÌýan NME article about the Stranglers in 1977. I didn't know what it meant but I knew that the band weren't subscribers to Spare Rib. Germaine Greer wasn't in their fan club. They weren't in touch with the feminine side of their .........you get the picture. Did I mind ? Not really, but I did get the feeling that it was in some way wrong to like the Stranglers. They weren't on the level of Sid the Sexist (not even Sid the Sky Sports Presenter) but there is something about the sentiments of London Lady that leaves me cold. Does that mean it's not a great record ?Ìý I don't know. The strippers on stage in Battersea Park in 1978 were a mistake though.
