Strange kismet, I'm preparing myself to go to Teddington for a school reunion today.Seeing people who I haven't seen for over forty years. Back to the future. Psychedelic Furs oddly hailed from Teddungton themselves. A still idlyllic suburb on the commuter belt. South West London.
Forever Now, and that's a great album title and great way of approaching life if you can take was the Furs third album came out in 1982, the year I left my secondary school and moved to college and off into life. As you must if you have any sense.
It's a good Art Pop album. The Furs were un transition at this point themselves. From Cult trendies towards the American market. MTV and the open road. This is a fine set of songs. Velvet Underground for the masses. Good lyrics. Bowie moves. Bowie always casts a shadow on Richard Butler. He cast a shadow on plenty. Lots of echoes of Beatles twisted lyrics too.The lyrics and sentiments stand up.
