Man at Work

In a rare moment of "getting my shit together" two months ago, I took the bus to the yonder side of the city to meet up with Mark Burgess, lead singer of the Chameleons, who now fronts Chameleons Vox, performing the old band's material. The purpose was for an interview to go up on No Ripcord.

I've been lucky to meet several people whose work I greatly admire, and Mark is certainly in that group. Putting aside personal feelings, there's always a slight anxiety when you're doing a big piece that the subject won't be forthcoming or give short answers.

Thankfully, Mark was a brilliant interviewee, offering up more than I could have asked for. Smoking like a chimney throughout the 90 minutes he generously talked to me, we covered more subjects that I could fit into one article.
