What's the best way to calm a momentary flash of rage. Make a cup of tea. Put a record on. Try to write about it Up. Clears the mood. Simple Minds , Sons & Facscination. Jim Kett and his sveldt gang rise from the record player and take shape in my living room on search of the Glittering Prize *. The red mist dissipates and is gone.
Simple Minds were a completely visionary force. Never mind 81, 82, 83, 84. Make that 78 to 84. They came from Glasgow and dreamed of Europe. After New Gold Dream they made the wrong moves, lost Derek Forbes and decuded to head for the Americam Dream rather than the European one and lost their glow. Remember them this way.
* From New Gold Dream, forgive me.
