The Thompson Twins were one of the greatest bands of the early MTV era, pumping out hit after hit while offering an emotional resonance that transcended the typical chart fare. Singer/songwriter Tom Bailey is still very much at it, making vital new music and touring, and he doesn’t shy away from the difficult questions. He’s a terrific interview.
