How do
Long term fan (first gig Hammersmith Palais 1981) and ex forumite of days yore here. After a lengthy hiatus I've been having a sustained period of Bunnymen listening and marvelling at their one time brilliance. I think it was instigated by hearing Over The Wall on Radio6 with Radcliffe and Maconie which had me pulling over in the car and drifting away into memories of long lost gigs, places and people. Sigh.
Anyhoo as a follow up I thought I'd see what they were up to right now and I have to say it does not look or sound good. Mac sounds finished has it been like this for long? And how come Sgt Fuzz has been replaced by a bicyle repair man?
I followed The Fall for many years (RIP MES) but there came a point when it was clear that the game was up there. That got embarrassing and I'm afraid the recent Jools appearance of the Bunnymen was straying into that territory for me.
Am I being harsh or is there reason to be optimistic?
