Yeah, but the amazing thing about that is that it was there because on the surface it was a crazy song about doing Mischief, but in reality it was a wonderful observation about life at school, so let's celebrate 40 years since sweet dreams welcome Dave Stewart thank you very much a great introduction well thank you we like to try we are going to talk about many things your new West End show which you wrote the music for with Jos Stone Time Traveler's Wife which we will get to but as we sit here now you are approaching the UK shows from this 40 Years Songbook Tour 40 Years Since Sweet Dreams Yes My Life in Music Sunday's Greatest Hits Radio John Taylor, how are you?

I'm good, it's good to be here, it's very good to have a new album from Jiran Jiran, let's talk a little about that before we touch on your first choice, yes, it's a Halloween-themed album that was created around a show we did last year actually in Las Vegas and um. We picked six or seven songs, you know, songs that we all liked and that we thought fit under the umbrella of Psycho Killer Talking Heads Ghost Town horror songs from Cerone's supern Nature specials, which is a great song.
