SIMPLE MINDS
Stars Will Lead The Way
Universal
There’s something quite likeable about Simple Minds – the fact that they are not U2. Yes, it’s true their head-held-high, arms-aloft Messiah rock is just as overblown, e-bowed, and reverbed, their lyrics just as cod-meaningful and their performances as excruciatingly serious and lifeless. But thankfully all the global-brand, meet-the-Pope, save-the-world bullshit has alluded them and they just remain, well, a bit silly. I find all this very comforting and I’d like to buy Jim Kerr a pint to commiserate.
