I have just been reminded of the advert for Lee Cooper jeans in the U.K. in the late '70's. So I had a look at the following advert on You Tube.
I swear blind that the advert featured dummies with glowing eyes riding a waltzer. Am I wrong?
Also, this advert would fit right into the Haunted Generation stuff:
Our local TV meteorologist often mentions the Celtic Sea. Just because it's not next to London, or some major northern city, nobody cares about it!Because most people don't call it that, or even recognize it as a distinct sea. As Wikipedia says about the name:
I find it a bit baffling how it got called the Celtic SEA ~ when it sits within the open Atlantic Ocean - let alone why it got the tag of Celtic when it's miles from those areas, unless it's anything to do with the depth of the water?Our local TV meteorologist often mentions the Celtic Sea.

https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/sea/... In general, a sea is defined as a portion of the ocean that is partly surrounded by land. Given that definition, there are about 50 seas around the world. But that number includes water bodies not always thought of as seas, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Hudson Bay.
Moreover, in some cases, a sea is completely landlocked. The Caspian Sea is the most famous example, though this sea, which lies between Russia and Iran, is also referred to as the world’s largest lake. Other seas surrounded by land include the Aral Sea and the Dead Sea. They contain saltwater and have been called seas for many years, but many oceanographers and geographers are more inclined to call them lakes.
Still, that leaves dozens of water bodies that fit the traditional definition of a sea, even though they can be quite different from one another. A sea can be more than 2.6 million square kilometers (1 million square miles) in area, such as the Caribbean Sea. Or, it can be as tiny as the Sea of Marmara, which is less than 12,950 square kilometers (5,000 square miles) in area. This tiny Turkish sea connects the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea. ...

Maybe it's because 'Gilmore' isn't a common name, whereas everyone back then had heard of Dave Gilmour? Someone might've thought of that spelling in a musical context.Looking up a memory from the 70's, i put "Looking Through Gary Gilmour's Eyes" into the search box. Inagine my surprise to discover the song has apparenrtly been re-spelt as "Looking Through Gary Gilmore's Eyes".
Apparently it's been "Gilmore" all along, as the original deceased mass murderer was called Gary Gilmore. But I'm sure I saw it listed in the pop charts as "Gilmour". Ah well. Mandela'd.
I remember it as being Chris Spedding. On another topic, Co Op Radio was playing 2,4,6,8 Motorway on Friday night - I was the ONLY person singing along in the entire shop!Gods damn, it's jsut happened again. Johnny Walker has just played this on Sounds of the Seventies. Chris Spedding? I always thought this was Tom Robinson, you know, 2,4,6,8 Motorway bloke.
As is 'Celtic' too."Sea" is a relatively fuzzy and elastic geographic label.

At roughly the same time there was an Australian Test cricketer called Gary Gilmour, which may have contributed to the confusion. I wouldn't be surprised if the song was mis-spelt at the time by various periodicals.Looking up a memory from the 70's, i put "Looking Through Gary Gilmour's Eyes" into the search box.

Translucent?Going back 10 pages or so, I would say that the word opaque describes something which is in between transparent and unseethroughable/solid.
Translucent?
Yep, always Chris Spedding for me!Gods damn, it's jsut happened again. Johnny Walker has just played this on Sounds of the Seventies. Chris Spedding? I always thought this was Tom Robinson, you know, 2,4,6,8 Motorway bloke.
Or maybe theres another very simple explanation, and I've just missed it?
Contrary to popular belief, the amount of crap being pumped into the atmosphere, especially in the UK, has reduced significantly over the last 30 years, so this could effect how the sun looks.Or maybe theres another very simple explanation, and I've just missed it
I thought a change in vision may have something to do with it, but I'm in my mid-thirties, although my eyesight has certainly changed in my thirties I still do pretty good on eye tests. It's a possibility though that there has been a change to how my eyes process colours.“Abnormal color vision increases significantly with aging -— affecting one-half or more of people in the oldest age groups, reports a study. While few people younger than 70 have problems with color vision, the rate increases rapidly through later decades of life, with the majority of problems encountered with the blue-yellow colors.”
