Oh, but that they could’ve stayed this band forever, before Michael decided he wanted to corner the Aussie market on Jim Morrison impersonators.
Agreed. Though I do like “Listen Like Thieves,” this was pretty much their peak. Great vintage video.
Yes, I agree. KICK is where Winkler got on the waterskis to my mind.
