Sorry to read about your friends Robbie, it's a reminder that this addiction we have is a killer. I'm glad it didn't take you.

Good to 'see' you Leigh, I hope the Hurricane didn't cause any damage (that is if you live in Florida - I have in in my mind that is where you live but I could be mistaken)

Some great music, I have seen the Furs too, a very long time ago at a place that back then was called North East London Polytechnic. The Butler brothers are still making music I think, or were a few years back.

Some years ago now, 2015 thereabouts, my youngest daughter had a market stall in a place called Spitalfields - not too far from me - she and a friend held a fashion show there (unauthorised by council I discovered later) and wanted something upbeat that would go with some Egyptian themed clothes they were flogging. The place it self was built during the Tutankhamen craze in the 1920s so had an Egyptian look. I suggested Communion With the Sun by Todd Rundgren (Utopia but basically Todd) I don't think they were expecting me to come up with any useful contribution but they said it was the ideal opener for what they had in mind - the first and last time she has ever followed any of my suggestions.

I better play it now I guess. It's a slightly longer track than I remembered.



The live versions are too long really (and not great videos tbh)
