I remember seeing this on the Channel 4 music show the Tube (presented by Jools Holland and Paula Yates) in the mid 80's and thinking WTF? I loved it!
Jesse is now 56 and I believe he still wears his medieval warrior gear everyday and is still performing.
He also wrote Odyssey's 1982 single "Inside Out" which was a huge disco hit and still gets airplay today. The mans a genius!!
Jesse Rae and Bernie Worrell in The Thistle video. Lots of powerful imagery going on here. Youv'e gotta love those locomotive scenes. I doubt in todays PC world they would let you hang off the front of a moving steam train for a video!!
Jesse with his 1984 single "Chainsaw". As in his other videos he has the funkmeister himself Bernie Worrell on keyboards. Another legend .... P Funk and Talking heads to name but two of his bands. Well three really.
