Ah just seen there was a ND birthday bonus!

The song is a lot better than the film though I will admit like lots of RW films it's easy to watch without engaging your brain. She was good in Walk The Line though.

One of those songs that has a history and a life of its own beyond the music. Especially with what happened to various band members. Think Neil Young's on record saying he'd much rather play SHA than Southern Man.

I wonder if Bon could really play the bagpipes?

He lived in Kirriemuir Angus Scotland as a young lad.
When i was there at his little monument in the park the information board stated that his Dad played in a Scots band, can't remember what instrument now though

Must be Visage ?

I thought that but Midge Ure joined Ultravox in 1979 from Visage so must have been late seventies not early eighties.
