It’s that bass, to start. Derek’s bassline on this song is fab! Mick’s synths too. And Brian’s drums. And Charlie’s guitar. And Jim’s lyrics…the song really works as a whole unit!

An absolute “gig of gigs”.

David Bowie, who was playing an ad man called Vendice Partners [in “Absolute Beginners”], only said hello and goodbye to me, but then one day he came into the makeup room, picked up a brush and started doing my hair – it was the most erotic experience I’d ever had. Patsy Kensit. Note to young…
Jim Kerr and Derek Forbes, circa 1982. I always think Jim looks very “menswear catalogue” in this photo – COOL MENSWEAR – like a GQ magazine shoot or some such. When he wore cool clothes (thankfully, he’s *mostly* wearing cool clothes again!). Derek, on the other hand, looks a bit “WTF? I ain’t even ready, ken!” Lol
