This is long after Merrill was in The Arrows.

A decade at least after Arrows broke up.

That was Alan Merrill's "look" throughout the eighties. The leopard prints, Keds high tops and the ever present Les Paul guitar.

After he left the Neverland Express in 1989 Alan did some acting in the HBO Encyclopedia Brown TV series, then he did the Vodka Collins band reunion tours and recordings in Japan.

I liked Alan with the mousse spiked up hair. That was a good look, very eighties.
