    Boomtown Rats were fantastic. The energy of the performance and the song have stuck with me ever since. I couldn't help singing along with it while watching. Joyous! It only occurs to me now how much Bob resembled Mick Jagger with his dancing. And they were no one hit wonders. I Don't Like Mondays, Rat Trap, Like Clockwork, Banana Republic... They were prolific in the 70s and 80s. And which young man didn't love seeing Legs & Co who replaced Pan's People on TOTP?
    p.s. Squeeze originated in Deptford where my family used to live. Apparently it was one of the band members that torched my dad's Triumph motorbike.

    I was mad for Darts when I was 10! When I hear it now it reminds me of Zappa’s ‘Cruising With Ruben and the Jets’. Never cared for the Boomtown Rats, like a major-label Undertones without the chops and the wrong ‘tude. ‘Love is in the Air’ seems to be a classic now, a proper ear worm, here it is in its ‘holiday camp’ arrangement. Manhattan Transfer - I remember 1978 as much more punky and new wave than this but this is proper music, a young Paddy McAloon is taking notes. I’m not going to say anything about Legs and Co for fear of getting banned. When I listen to the Bee Gees, ABBA, etc, I’m surprised at how electronic and modern they sound. And nice to hear Squeeze again at the end.
