POP MUSIC : UNMASKED AVENGER
By Dave Jennings, from London
Feb. 4, 1996 12 AM PT
Oasis’ faces are just becoming familiar to American music fans, but the group’s next video will feature an already well-known visage--Patrick Macnee, the veteran actor best known for his role as secret agent John Steed in the ‘60s TV series “The Avengers.” The series is currently enjoying a revival in Britain, with prime-time reruns on the BBC and plans for a movie version.
Macnee joined Oasis in a Beverly Hills mansion for the video shoot during the band’s U.S. tour late last year. “The Avengers” has long been a favorite of pop music figures, with Chrissie Hynde modeling her mod spy role in the video for the 1986 hit “Don’t Get Me Wrong” after the show’s co-star, Diana Rigg.
