A ROUND TRIP TICKET TO OUTER SPACE WITH... THE COMMUNARDS
If there’s any single thing that’s sustained Jimmy Sommerville thus far, it’s his passion—passion for living life in whatever way he feels, passion for politics, even passion for pizza. Not that passion’s always been good to him, Back on the streets of Glasgow in his teen days, it earned him more than one fist in the stomach, and after his falsetto had become Bronski Beat’s trademark, it even talked him right out of a job.

If there’s any single thing that’s sustained Jimmy Sommerville thus far, it’s his passion—passion for living life in whatever way he feels, passion for politics, even passion for pizza. Not that passion’s always been good to him, Back on the streets of Glasgow in his teen days, it earned him more than one fist in the stomach, and after his falsetto had become Bronski Beat’s trademark, it even talked him right out of a job. But no tears, please, ’cause really, the lad’s done all right for himself. Here he is, back again with another band he likes better, a new partner named Richard Coles who agrees with all his principles, and now, gosh darn it, they’ve got a hit in America.
