Or worse yet, that duffy got the look from setzer and Geordie got the look from duffy?! Is that possible?
 
Then again so many bands had pompadours and big hollowbody guitars in the UK at the time, it was everywhere like the ants, bow wow wow,  haircut 100, the smiths, everywhere.

Hmmmm..... good point. Could it be that Geordie -- -shudder- -- appropriated HIS aesthetic from Duffy?
The mind reels.
