We’ve always had an Art School tag…I don’t even think there is an art school in Glasgow.
Jim Kerr, 1984 on Simple Minds
I do NOT believe for a single second he’d have said that! I mean, geez, the Glasgow School of Art is one of the city’s most famous buildings! They even played there in the early days as far as I am aware. If he said it, he was trying to be contrary and funny, which was obviously lost on the magazine! Lol
Also can I just say – the thing about him saying Chrissie being a friend – and more? Oh…I dream! Well, I dream JUST to be a friend. Geez! Just friendship would do. Anything else is beyond pie in the sky. “Friendship” is pie in the sky enough!
I took close up scans of the pics as well. Pretty sure the one of him holding the mic is one of Virginia’s.
I’m post some more as and when.
As long as your story is interesting Larelle, and I’m certain it would be , then it should be included. I hate that elitist notion of the ‘ long term fan’. If you’ve liked them for 40 years or two weeks it doesn’t matter. It’s not a p***ing up against a wall contest.
Really annoys me that kind of snobbery.
