This one taking in Taormina in all its perceived splendour. I’m sure it’s quite beautiful but…hey, you know – there are plenty of breathtaking places around the world.
The important bit is the song and the lyrics. I love the song and the lyrics.
Jim’s glare to camera at the beginning…that’s a “Vision Thing“. (“Larrrrellllllllle – you MUST love Taormina”…hmmm, sorry, Jim. Lol) Charlie’s Blue Steel turn. Lol. Priceless!
To be honest, I’ve never wondered why Jim and Charlie love Tao so much. Jim’s told the story enough times already. I get it. Perhaps I was lucky enough to grow up ‘in colour’ so I’m not as quite taken in by the hyperbole? But, he loves it there (and so does Charlie) and that’s all that matters.
If it’s about a place of belonging, beyond a mere aesthetic – of being “home” then …. my heart belongs to/in Glasgow (and it has an aesthetic I love).
Quick turn around for the video anyway, from shooting to YT debut.
Galletly Tubs is at Kelvinbrdge Station? I was going to buy these wee mouse shaped lamp holders from there last year but like you say they were charging a fucking bomb.
Ruthven Lane is good for a wander and has units selling a heap of junk/curiosities.
That?s the place, yep.Will have to check out Ruthven Lane next time.
