A close and richly detailed portrayal of the journey of working-class youths from Glasgow who transformed from an emerging new romantic band into stadium rock icons. In the 1980s, Simple Minds rubbed shoulders with U2, headlined massive benefit concerts like Live Aid, and conquered with “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” from “The Breakfast Club” soundtrack. With humility, wit, and captivating honesty, singer Jim Kerr and guitarist Charlie Burchill discuss the ups and downs, reinventions, and the small miracle of keeping friendship and creative fire alive.
