Nomads (1986) is quentessencially 80s Citizen Kane
The movie is not told by walking to various unreliable witnesses. The second protagonist, Dr. Eileen Flax (Lesley-Anne Down) just gets the pieces of the visions, as if this was some sort of Edgar Wright film.

Happy Birthday Marco Pirroni (1959)
Ein Geburtstag, viele Geschichten. Ich liebs. Heute, am 27. April, feiert Marco Pirroni seinen 67. Geburtstag. Der Name wird vielen nichts sagen, aber dafür habt ihr mich ja. Ich hatte heute schon die Kurzfassung im Fediverse gepostet, hier kommt die Long Story.
Marco Pirroni war der erste Gitarrist von Siouxsie And The Banshees, allerdings nur bei ihrem ersten spontanen Auftritt am 20.09.1976 im „100 Club“ in London. Dort veranstaltete Malcolm McLaren, der Manager der Sex Pistols, das zweitägige „100 Club Punk Special“ u. a. mit den Bands The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Damned und Buzzcocks. Siouxsie And The Banshees performten dort eine 20-minütige Improvisation von „The Lord’s Prayer“ und wollten sich danach auch gleich wieder auflösen, wurden aber für weitere Auftritte angefragt. Also machten Sioux und Severin mit anderen Musikern weiter, der Rest dieses Handlungsstrangs ist Geschichte.
Über den kurzen Rest vom Leben von Sid Vicious wurden Filme gedreht. Er stieg 1977 als Bassist bei den Sex Pistols ein, obwohl er gar nicht spielen konnte. Er wurde aufgrund seiner Punk-Attitüde verpflichtet. Der Legende nach hat sogar Lemmy Kilmister vergeblich versucht, Sid das Bassspielen beizubringen. 1978 wurde seine Freundin Nancy Spungen erstochen in einem Hotelzimmer gefunden. Der unter Drogen stehende Sid war auch im Zimmer und wurde wegen Mordverdacht festgenommen. Anfang 1979 kam er auf Kaution frei und starb während der Party zur Feier seiner Freilassung an einer Überdosis Heroin. Während des Gefängnisaufenthalts war er clean gewesen. So kam es nie zur endgültigen Aufklärung des Todes von Nancy Spungen.
Kommen wir nun zurück zum Geburtstagskind Marco Pirroni. Nach dem Auftritt mit Siouxsie And The Banshees gründete er die kurzlebigen Punk-Bands The Models und Rema-Rema, bevor er sich 1980 Adam And The Ants anschloss. Da war gerade die gesamte Besetzung ausgetauscht worden, weil Malcom McLaren die Musiker von Adam Ant die Band Bow Wow Wow gründen ließ. Marco Pirroni wurde Lead-Gitarrist und Co-Songschreiber der neuformierten Adam And The Ants, mit denen der Durchbruch gelang. Das Album „Kings Of the Wild Frontier“ erreichte Platz 1 in den britischen Albumcharts und weitere Top10-Plazierungen weltweit. In Deutschland reichte es immerhin für Rang 11. Das Nachfolge-Album „Prince Charming“ erreichte „nur noch“ Platz 2 in Großbritannien, dafür kamen die Singles „Stand & Deliver“ und „Prince Charming“ dort auf Platz 1 der Single-Charts.
1982 kam es zu einem weiteren Bruch, als Adam Ant die Band auflöste und unter eigenem Namen weitermachte. Die ehemaligen Ants Marco Pirroni und Schlagzeuger Chris Hughes, der übrigens am Tears For Fears-Klassiker „Everybody Wants To Rule The World (1985) mitgeschrieben hat. Ant und Pirroni veröffentlichten bis 1995 sechs Alben, am letzten Album aus dem Jahr 2013 arbeitete Pirroni nicht mehr mit.
Pirroni schrieb Songs für Boy George auf dessen Album „Sold“ (1987) und spielte Gitarre für Sinéad O’Connor auf ihren Alben „The Lion And The Cobra“ (1987), „I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got“ (1990), „Universal Mother“ (1994) und „How About I Be Me (and You Be You)?“ (2012). Bei einigen Songs von Sinéad O’Connor war er ebenfalls am Songwriting beteiligt. Für seine eigene Band The Wolfmen, die er 2005 mit dem Bassisten Chris Constantinou (ebenfalls ehemaliges Bandmitglied von Adam Ant) gründete, schrieben er und Constantinou den Song „Do the Ostrich“ mit dem legendären Lou Reed (The Velvet Underground). The Wolfmen veröffentlichten die Alben „Modernity Killed Every Night“ (2008) und „Married To The Eiffel Tower“ (2011).
Marco Pirroni ist eher ein stiller Typ in der Musikszene, dazu passt auch, dass er seit Mitte der 1982 keine Liveauftritte mehr machte, sondern nur noch als Studiogitarrist und Songwriter tätig war.
Happy Birthday Marco Pirroni.

I have a busy month of gigs ahead - ✅ means I have a ticket, ❔means I am interested.
I might see #ArtOfThis if they haven't sold out (#ArtOfNoise rhythm section plus Paul Morley and Ian Peel). I have a ticket for a #TrevorHorn talk at the Haymarket in Basingstoke (the last time I was there was to see a Philip Glass opera), #ProlapseBand at the Lexington (normally horrible craft beer), #PsychedelicFurs at the London Palladium, and #AdamAnt in #Basingstoke.
