John Grant – He’s Amazing!

Posted on April 17, 2017October 3, 2023 By Priptona No Comments on John Grant – He’s Amazing!

Thirteen months ago, today…

I was in Adelaide, staying with my friend Janis and her family. I couldn’t sleep. I had tattoos done that day and sleeping on my back and left side was causing a little discomfort.

Jim had shared John Grant’s Pale Green Ghosts for his post about St Patrick’s Day. And so, I played Queen Of Denmark on Spotify (I always like to delve into an artist chronologically).

Another “creation of a monster”. My brother Quince would always say this if he was the instigator of me getting my hooks into something and becoming…obsessive. Well, it appears Sir has done it to me with John Grant. 

Thank you, Jim…for being “Where Dreams Go To Die”.

(Yes! I know! I am becoming a scratched record, on so many levels…sorry.)
