We got a release in America, and right at that time, MTV was really growing fast. What do you recall about the filming of the “I Ran” video? I think they had like 10 videos, and we were one of them…That just got rotated and rotated, and all over the country, we’d go to play in places like Kansas and kids were coming up, going, “I love the video!” We became one of the first bands to have anything on MTV. “I Ran” was the one where we all spun around with the mirrors. I think it was done in about an hour and a half. It was basically, “We’ve got to make some kind of promo for this song.” We went out and bought some clothes, messed around with our hair and when we got back, they had set up this thing and they said, “Just go in there and play, and the camera will spin around.” It wasn’t our idea it was a director’s idea. We were just like, “Wow, we’re actually being filmed to be seen by people,” which was funny at the time. What is the story behind your iconic hairstyle in the “Space Age Love Song” video? I think it was done pretty cheap and it turned out to be quite an iconic little video. My hair, it used to be long and curly on one side. And then, I decided I would do it like a Ziggy Stardust type thing, where it was all spiked on top and long in the back. As far as I remember, we were just about to go on stage one day, and we were all looking in the mirror-we were stylish young things, y’know-and Frank put his hand on top of my head, as if to say, “Hey, just scoot down a little bit,” and he completely flattened the top of my head, except the sides stayed up. The manager just said, “Hey, come on, get on stage!” That’s how I went on and I noticed immediately, people pointing at it, and little girls laughing.
