Plastered again
The return of the band-aid. Some 18 months ago (April 14, 1983, to be precise) we reported on a strange new fashion: pop stars sticking bits of Elastoplast about their persons. Among those then bandying about the band-aids were Grace Jones, Simon le Bon and someone called Dig Wayne from the JoBoxers, then a popular singing group. Well, as any reader of Bitz knows: old fashions never die, they just turn up again a couple of years later. And here we have it once more: Frankie’s Paul Rutherford, Culture Club’s Mikey Craig and Adam Ant, sporting silly sticking plasters one and all.
