Oh my, these guys were so beautiful. When this song and video came out, it solidified my absolute love crush on John Taylor – that lush euro mullet with the bangs that brushed his brows just so. I would play the video over and over. I think I had taped the video on VHS one time when it showed up on MTV, so I could rewind and play on repeat, memorizing the lyrics. Nonsensical lyrics, but no matter. It looked like it had something to do with a revolution. It was one of my favourite songs on the album “Seven and the Ragged Tiger”.

They still look pretty good these days, and they are still touring. We’ve seen them twice over the years. Their concerts never disappoint. They may have gotten even better with age. The song has such a distinctive baseline – so aside from being such a gorgeous man, it turns out that John Taylor is quite the talented bass guitar player. Self taught (yes I read his autobiography, In the Pleasure Groove, which came out in 2012, yes, I was still a fangirl in my 40s).

Concert ticket prices are astronomical, but it may be worth a three-peat if they ever come into town again.
