Was Tubeway Army's Are Friends Electric classed as Modern Romantic stuff,seeing as it was from the 70's not the 80's?

I'm quite a fan of Duran Duran today, but in 1985 I was a bit angrier. Simon Le Bon owned a 78 foot ocean racer, Drum, that was practicing for the 1985 Fastnet off-shore race in the Solent. I was bimbling along in a twenty-six foot yacht and caught it on starboard tack. Normally I give way to bigger boats because it's quite a lot of hassle for them to tack, even though I had right of way. However, I noticed that Simon was wearing an immaculate white suit in the cockpit.....and held my course.

Sorry Simon.

Here is photographic evidence from SloMo's head cam just as his boat got run over.

Nicely spotted. Recognised Steve Strange amongst the blitz kids. Wikipedia confirms.
