T. Rex Does Simple Minds!



Dan Nester and I are taking part in Boog City Perfect Album: Live Aid 20th Anniversary on June 13th at Bowery Poetry Club. Originally, we thought "Great! We'll rock out on the old Queen numbers, leave them starved for more, as per usual." Unfortunately, the organizer of this event had other ideas: he told us that we were to do one song from each artist in order, sort of. Long story short, the songs wound up being the following:
  • U2 - Bad
  • Queen - Hammer To Fall
  • Simple Minds - (Don't You) Forget About Me
During our first rehearsal, we had no idea how to make the Simple Minds song the least bit interesting, so we simultaneuously hit upon the idea to perform it as a lost T. Rex classic. It worked beautifully, so I demoed it before I forgot the "arrangement." Here it is:
