I think the Bunnymen with Heaven Up Here were the only band that managed to make something great from that band-writing style. I think Mac's instincts were right. For instance Bowie would do it and those songs were never as strong as the songwriterly ones. Velvets too. Somehow the Bunnymen pulled it off. But I still prefer it when Ian would bring a song in and the band arrange it.
You handled that very well! He was in great spirits too...that always helps!
loved this!!!
Thanks Seb.
