Chelsea Girl – Now With Added Cowbell!
Thought I’d better get away from this John Grant fixation for a bit. Bring this blog back to its main purpose of being a Simple Minds **cough! – Jim Kerr ogling – cough!** blog. What a venue this place in Hamburg looked?! My friend Yvonne (aka Birdy!) went over there especially for it…lucky lady! No…
Why I Love…70 Cities As Love Brings The Fall
I’ve had lovely comments left on this post today. It’s great to know people are visiting, reading and appreciating the stuff I do here. Thank you! :-))
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,…
TC & Honeybear – John Grant
This has been the other earworm today. Loving the Weegie banter with the audience before the song gets under way. And then…TISSUES AT THE READY! (I’m gonna have to take a 300 sheet box to London with me!) https://youtu.be/lh0bfcGsN3o

This Boy, Though (Part 775)
I love how much of him now you can see in this photo… Timeless beauty ? (Yes! I’m having a fawning, sycophantic fangirl moment. It’s Easter. I’m allowed! He’s more addictive than chocolate. Just…LOOK AT HIM!) I really won’t be able to look him in the eye if the opportunity for eye contact avails itself…
Why Don’t You Love Me Anymore – John Grant
And while I am counting down the days to Glasgow…I am also counting down the days to seeing this man in London on May 2nd. I am positively ODing on his music right now in the lead up to the gig. He’s incredible. I really cannot wait for this! Champing at the bit… https://youtu.be/hlCyBSFDaN0
