I really enjoyed watching this BBC documentary because I had forgotten how hard they rocked and how many great songs they recorded. They are one of the few bands that I regret not seeing live, and I still have the free “Mott’s Got It!” badge that I ordered from their record company to prove it. So badly did I want this badge that I wrote Columbia and nudged them when they failed to send it. Once I finally received said badge, I wore it to my high school every day like a sign that said, “Kick Me.” I knew I would have the last laugh, because Mott were awesome and I had exquisite taste.</p><p>If I don’t flake out, I will dig the badge up tomorrow and scan it.</p>https://herrmachine.tumblr.com/post/140898652344https://herrmachine.tumblr.com/post/140898652344Sat, 12 Mar 2016 02:15:36 -0500Mott the HoopleIan HunterBallad of Mott the Hooplerock and roll1970s musicglam rock<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/0a6d4b75cb6ea573aba4240938ad7cec/tumblr_o3wz4dkzBK1qzsz7so1_250.gifv"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://bust.com/">Bust Magazine</a> has had many wonderful covers over the years, but this one of Amy Poehler will always be one of my favorites.
