[@The123rasputin]

Roddy's guitar solo in Rat Race is the one I have most vivid memories of having a sense of total delight of all solos in: 1980 and again in 1994

my body is aching, I've never sweat so much in my life, got squashed punched kicked and elbowed but would gladly do it all again

[@bladerunner5116]

Fantastic.

[@ChillToMusic87]

Why does Horace always look up when he's talking? I guess it must be nerves? He also does it in other interviews.

[@8saltman]

Where's Jerry Dammers?

[@paulharland2238]
