Jim Kerr – Da For Hire!
Muriel Gray interviews Jim “let me be your daddy” Kerr – the end to this interview shouldn’t have piqued my interest quite as much as it did….but what can I say. Gawd! The stutter is still there quite pronounced. I just want to lick him!!!! OMG! HELP ME!!! I knew of him back then! I…
An Hour Of Chinwagging I Wish Was Mine!
Oh, just…how I wish. I just want to be able to talk to him! I know a ton of other fans do too. But A lot of them have had that opportunity. And…YES…it makes me absolutely fucking EVERGREEN with envy. It really does. He just sounds so convivial and chatty and just…you know. Above ALL…
A Woman’s Work
I never thought I’d find her. I thought she was gone. Every fan of Simple Minds had seen her work – whether they were aware of it or not. Some of the most iconic images taken of the band during their early days are her work. This one below (the image ON the bus, not…

Tiffany’s TARDIS Trip Tonight…
Well, that’s tonight’s gig sorted. Fire up the TARDIS…get to that front row. Gawp at the most goegous man, ever…mouth agape. Lol (Oh…and maybe take the odd cursory glance at Kenny too…) Oh, I dream. UPDATE: The crowd when Celebrate starts! The roar of applause! It’s fucking awesome! The bass is off-the-scale crazy. I don’t…
Lockdown Let-out
Off topic… but honestly… what the hell else is there to talk about in the world of SM? Maybe that’s why Jim is so damn quiet? Pffft. Nah. He’s just fucking bored to death with us. Fine, Sir! We can take a hint… if you hint at it by throwing bricks directly at it. Lol…
