Reminds me of the 50's, the Jesus and Mary Chain, walking in the night with a tear and a smile...

@HalfFullYeah I don't think The Jesus and Mary chain were around in the 50's..I might be wrong but I'm %100 sure I'm right.

OMG, you seriously think the French Revolution appeared in the 50's?

Of course : the 1750's!
The JAMC was in part inspired by old rock n' roll, very old rock n' roll, the one of Voltaire and the French Revolution!
They actually take their name from a dance one would do to 1500s chamber music, in which stilts typically made of crystal (plebeians could only afford stilts of wood) would be mounted by someone dressed as jesus and someone else dressed as mary, whilst they thrashed about, joylessly dividing the room with rope affixed to either set of stilts. This dance regained favor during the French Revolution in a very kitschy, retro way, as famously demonstrated by Napoleon at Waterloo using 2 tent poles.
