Re: u/w versus simple minds
it was weeks of U2 or weeks of the Cure or weeks with the Simple Minds in the radio during the 80's. The new records were hyped.. But this was only the commercial New Wave shit. Just like now, for the better music you had to go to the little clubs.
And little Jimmy Kerr one day became so famous he woke up and though he was something like a Jezus and preached on stage like he invented the world. Succes was over fast.
Street Hassle played live is still a brilliant song tho.

Ohyeah They still owe me 65 guilders, Live in the city of lights is the worst official live album I ever bought, really a waste of money.
