This song sounds pretty good now, but I remember being disappointed at the time.  I thought it wasn't up to Squeeze's standards.  I still think that, but it does have a good sound.  I felt the same way (except even more so) about George Harrison's "I Got My Mind Set On You", which came out a few years later.  But even that one sounds pretty good these days.

In light of diminshed expectations, BOS to Bourgeois Tagg's "I Don't Mind at All."  This song would never get on radio now.

BOS Bourgeois Tagg, "I Don't Mind At All".  Lovely, Beatle-esque Todd Rundgren production.

I was digging the guitar work, but that wasn't Chris?

And barely did then, tho' it got to #38. (It's great to post from home and have Whitburn in hand.)

BOS to Bourgeois Tagg, my Sacto homies.

Sorry, haven't had a chance to participate in today's discourse, but I wish Mike and Rod both very happy birthdays, wherever they are. (Well, I know where Mike is.)

Ouch--that step on the "tagg" end of I Don't Mind at All was painful. At least Dave apologized.

HM to "Bullet the Blue Sky" because Bono has a thing for the bullet/sky lyric/visual...

(he mentions bullets & the sky in the now-overplayed 'Vertigo' song if I'm not mistaken).

Hmmm...  I'm still waiting for ONE song that I like.
If this song had been "Where the Streets have No Name" instead of this one, that would have been it!!

after that Baker/Falwell clip*  it would be even better if Dave could play the live version of "Bullet The Blue Sky"

The God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister!


*which is a total Sally, but I'll forgive it because of the line "they had sharp knives".
