Johnny O'Keefe fan club badge

Johnny O’Keefe (1935–1978) was Australia’s first homegrown rock star. If you had joined the JOK fan club, along with this handsome badge, you would have received a certificate stating, ‘I am proud to be a friend of Johnny and I will always try to help him as much as I can and try to set a good example to all teenagers’. Sweet – admirable, even – but a vision of rock’n’roll set for destruction amidst the social turmoil of the 1960s that was just around the corner.
