...girl and her friend, the shoes are an event. They fall about each other, laugh and shiver, hold one another. When they've finished they bum Djakarta cigarettes from a nearby skinhead. The girl turns back to me, looking bored. Her eyes, brown and indolent, hover above and beyond, taking in the passersby, the shopfronts, the traffic, her friends...

The men in the honor guard wore dress uniforms and skinhead haircuts and composed their young faces into masks of abstracted obedience. Like robots suffering an obscure sorrow, they carried the casket of the new Unknown Soldier, the one from Viet Nam.

She self-promotes on subways, takes on gigs at skinhead pubs and political rallies, and ends up with record contract and sold-out laser light shows. Phil Daniels, star of last year's Quad-rophenia, plays the little manager who gets squeezed out by the big label but retains his integrity. Breaking Glass gets the dynamic concert finish, with electric...
