'Cars' was a vintage example of electro-rock - during 1979 or so when it was released for some bizzare reason I was working in the Shetland Islands - we used to sing
Here in my Croft
I can close all the gates
I can count all my sheep
Its the only way to live
In Crofts
And Jings - I wiz living in a croft as well.
'Are Friends Electric' also deserves a mention.Comment

His version of "On Broadway" is sublime. Includes a very rare thing - a great synth solo. About two minutes in to this vid. Played by Billy Currie.Comment

I thought the synths on Cars were extraodinary - especially the wee 'fugue' type breaks - and the end with the wonderful analogue sweeping curtains of sound and an icy synth solo in the background - vintage stuff.

The most famous person I've ever seen was Mikhail Gorbachev. He was sitting at the back of business class on a BA flight from Moscow to London.
He had one goon sat next to him, and two in economy.
One of his goons trod on my mate's foot.
