    My musical peak happened when I had the job of banging two sticks together in our school's production of 'The Turtle Drum'. The extra hit I added to the end of one of the songs, the headmaster deemed worthy of mention next day.

    I would say the audience was moved by the performance - there were certainly less people at the end than at the beginning.

    I was pleased, nay, delighted to spot this vid today - what a great song, but much more than that, what a fantastic and off the wall production piece too!
    Yes at their finest!

    I remember this being released in early 1976.
    Could they be as good as they were with Peter Gabriel?
    The answer was a resounding yes

    The first song from one of the best selling debut albums in US history.
    And what an astonishing bit of work it is

    Genius that raises the music to a seminal level. Talent.... hard Work...musicianship...A combination of ideas...drugs....emotionally living the experience. Martin Hannett was the fifth member of Joy Division. Morrissey and Marr made a stunning combination ...would it have suceeded otherwise?

    Who really knows...I like to think I have good musical taste...will people still be listening to it in a few hundred years time?

    If youve got it something magical happens. Maybe there is an element of luck and being in the right place at the right time. I dont think the truly great songwriters and performers needed much luck though...do you?

    As Les Mcqueen of Creme Brulee says.....its a shit business
    " Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?"
