TALES OF AMERICA'S VIDEO FIXXATION
I'd arrived late for interview with the Fixx, prior to their Detroit show opening for A Flock Of Seagulls. I was shown into a dressing room where lead Fixxer Cy Currin was busily shaving the blond stubble from his chin. He hardly seemed the anemic-looking weasel that peers from the back cover of Shuttered Room, their first album.

I'd arrived late for interview with the Fixx, prior to their Detroit show opening for A Flock Of Seagulls. I was shown into a dressing room where lead Fixxer Cy Currin was busily shaving the blond stubble from his chin. He hardly seemed the anemic-looking weasel that peers from the back cover of Shuttered Room, their first album. No, he looked fairly athletic, lean and tan, dressed only in a weathered pair of cut-offs and sporting a tooth-like pendant that looked suspiciously like the ritual neckslashing device David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve used so skillfully in The Hunger. The penalty for the tardy journalist? Fortunately, I’d checked my jugular vein at the gate.
