Kele Okereke Pt. 1: The Traveling Circus of Sublimated Ego

Curious Creatures

Show Notes

Concentric Circles of Life and the Nightmare of Brexit Kele from London via Edinburgh and Liverpool Budgie in France, London and Berlin Lol in the USA for 25 years Old UK market towns when the pubs are closed Would anyone want a return to 70’s England? Out of Brussels - Nefarious reasons? Strawberries full of chemicals? Capitalism - Free labour? Big Agri eats labour Children pick berries - Human nature stagnates Automation stealing jobs - packing our bags Armed response in Beverly Hills Belfast’s most bombed hotel - we’re all in the Bar Hands up! Berlin still an island with lots of space Kele, Lol and Budgie went to Catholic school Altar boys all, singing magi and Latin Teenagers rebelling against Catholic guilt 40 years later we have hopefully matured Not normal to sublimate the ego in your 20’s That’s what it takes for a band to work A Catch 22 – Few bands remain as first formed If only The Cure had taken a break from the 4th album … A recipe for disaster - everyone loves a rock star, staring into the abyss. ___ Respect: Joseph Heller (May 1st 1923 – December 12 1999) ___
