Full article:

Kevin Rowland (Dexys Midnight Runners) : On Searching for the Young Soul Rebels, that picture of the kid getting bombed out of his home in Belfast ... it felt dangerous. Apparently, in Glasgow, the bouncers were threatening to beat us up. But it felt good to do it.

Charlie Reid (Proclaimers) : One of the greatest covers ever. I remember Malcolm McLaren saying it was depressing. But Malcolm McLaren was doing Bow Wow Wow at the time and was about froth and style and fucking nothing. Dexys were about something and he couldn't hack it.
