I remember in the late eighties trying to see the band several times at the Highlands in Cambridge and the shows kept getting canceled because the band had trouble getting into the country. Have you heard that several years ago the band released a hit single in the UK under a different name and represented in video by young actors (a la Milli Vanilli)? The goal was to show that music should get airplay regardless of the age or image of the performers. Check the story out--I may have some of the details wrong, since I'm aged too.
