...why Eldritch had severe cause to doubt his record labels commitment to promoting the sisters (amongst many others i'm sure):

click on http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/sisters_o ... deos.jhtml and have a look at the "walk away" video. :roll:

Is it just me that starts singing a Jason Donovan song every time I see this thread title?

The video won't work for me for some reason and although I must have seen it I can't remember it.
There were an awful lot of dire videos in those days though, was it that much worse than everything else around?

---- I never saw the UTG video, but this song, of all Andy's lyrics, lays it on the line with the barefaced question "Are you living for love?" as he snarls his indignation at war-mongers.

I totally respect Andy for UTG perhaps more than anything else he did, even though it isn't my fave SOM song.

It's like, if you were a songwriter and you were given a chance to say something in a song (something that would be heard by a LOT of people) what would you choose to say? Andy snarled at the warmongers. :notworthy:

Even though half of the lyrics, and the music too, was "lifted" from Two Worlds Apart. -_-

It was more that it looked like it cost about a grand, sorry.
