Ron looks like a matinee idol. I've just been listening to This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us. It really stands the test of time and is as fresh today as it was then. Pure genius. I love that they also spawned so many original artists who got their inspiration from them. For example the astonishingly talented Billy Mackenzie with his manic soaring vocals. His cover of Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth is one of the best covers of any song, God rest his soul.

If there were a film about these brothers, could you see Benedict Cumberbatch and Jason Schwartzman playing them?

The keyboard player came across as so strange but when talking he's so normal, just an observation!

I got to meet Ron and Russ when they played Norman,Oklahoma on the " Sparks In Outer Space " tour. They played a club on a weeknight when there were finals the following day ( college town ) and there were,maybe,30 people there. I have been a fan since 1972 and they were very friendly and appreciative of my small band of fellow fans. They signed things and took photos with us...and then Ron drove them away in a station wagon. Yes I'm serious.

Great interviewer, getting the best out of these extraordinary people. (We just gave him a very well-desrerved honorary Ph.D for his own work). I can never understand why the Maels aren't more obviously respected- though perhaps now they are. It has taken a while...

Thanks for the heads up, but Ron only seems to speak in this song. I was hoping to hear him sing...

I love Ron SO much! But every time he opens his mouth I do expect some mad german professor voice lol

I think it would have been very interesting if Ron had sung a few of the songs he'd written.
