So I now have a ticket to a proper Specials gig (no standing outside in the mud and rain watching them suffer the indignity of opening up for Razorlight, FFS). But I only posted a Specials video a week ago, so here's one by Fun Boy Three instead.
I absolutely adored the Fun Boy Three. In their short career, they made two brilliant albums of effortlessly blended genres, Terry Hall's trademark caustic lyrics, solid politics and most importantly great tunes. The fact that I was totally in love with Terry at the time didn't hurt either. Actually, I'm still kind of in love with him. Yes, I'm sad.
Anyway, here's a classic slice of anti-Thatcherism/Reaganism from their debut.
