Really? I respect that. I don't fully hate it in anyway. I rated it 1 star for ok. My ratings are designed to lean towards a higher more accurate 5 star rating for myself. So 1 star may seem low but again, I find the song OK. It would be rare for me to rate any Simple Minds songs less than 1 star in general. Thanks for watching!
Bud, agree with your analysis! The Lou Reed “street hassle” cover was completely unnecessary, kick inside of me truly horrible. I have to say the instrumental at the end I do like. In summary, it really is an album of two halves and suffers from a weaker side 2. Subscribed!
Thank u for the comment. Have you heard the live version of East at Easter from the 1989 tour show in Verona? Its on you tube. Imo they perfected that song on that live performance. Its even better that the 87 tour City of Lights. Its really odd ar the end. There is what sounds like a gunshot at the end. It may be something behind the stage that falls over. It is so loud. You even hear an audience member shriek scared. Jim Kerr doesnt even flinch. Its so odd. Not sure if it makes the version better or worse. Lol. Such a great song.
Kick inside of me is my favourite on side 2.

Such a great song.
I think I will review Street Hassle this week by Lou Reed.
