Capital City Curious Kerr

Posted on April 10, 2018October 3, 2023 By Priptona No Comments on Capital City Curious Kerr

Taken to YouTube for something and this appeared on my homepage. It had been a while, so I had to watch it.

Geez he’s mesmerising! I know these days when I watch these early performances that he’s most likely off his tits…but it doesn’t make it any less fascinating. Each time I view one of these performances with a renewed sense of “how the f*** did I not know that Simple Minds and Jim Kerr were like this?! It’s UNREAL! WHY did it take me so damn long to discover this?!”

And each time I have that TARDIS wish. I know! We can’t go back in time…we haven’t perfected time travel, and these old clips shared on YT are the nearest thing I’ll ever get…but I still dream.

And I still can’t believe I could make a piece of art like this from such a sketchy bit of footage.

I know! Nostalgia trip number 427…sorry!
