But, when it comes to dance music Ron and Russell tend to have more than two or three versions. Jane Wiedlin could be on one of them. Anyway, she was in two tracks on 'In Outer Space', 'Cool Places' and 'Lucky Me, Lucky You'.

Not really. it's not strong enough, and whatever bite it had originally has been utterly removed from this version. How could anyone tell this is supposed to be slagging off the bubblegum identikit bullshit churned out by big corporations, and/or the like by that old slag madogga? It's just not there, and I think could have done without that: "Get up dear, get up and try..." whole middle-8 as it comes off more embarrassing and needless than anything else. I know Ron was writing weirder than weird in 1982 with titles like 'Mickey Mouse', 'Tarzan And Jane', about cigarettes having a life and moustaches, but they were all more catchy than this, if only we knew what it all meant.

Sparks's? They are still going strong, or the strongest ever! 2020 their 25th album (more, counting everything) 'A Steady Drip Drip Drip' came out. Edgar Wright's documentary on them, 'The Sparks Brothers', did premiere in January at the Sundance Film Festival. Is to be released very soon in the US and the UK, the rest of the world is eagerly waiting for information. The opening film for the Cannes Film Festival is 'Annette', a musical directed by Leos Carax, original story, music by Sparks, lyrics by Sparks and Leos Carax. Staring Adam Driver and Marion Cottilard. They are also working on the next album, since the 2020 tour is postponed to 2022 May-June. Those gentlemen were born on August 12, 1945 (Ron) and October 5, 1948 (Russell). Maybe you knew this already, but if someone who didn't reads it, I'm happy 😃! 💖 (Written 2021 June 10)
