Making An Effort…

Posted on June 22, 2024June 22, 2024 By Priptona 1 Comment on Making An Effort…

***WARNING: VLOG POST***

Here I am…making an effort…

I’m just too busy to write out a post. I tried to be as short as I could with this and tried reigning in waffling on. I know some of you don’t like these and I appreciate that but I had to get this stuff off my chest. In the meantime, the book takes over all other things so it’s hard for me to devote any time to typing out long blog posts. My apologies. It may end up like this for a couple of months yet. Deadline for the book is 31 August after all.

Anyway….please watch, if you have the time and/or inclination. Ta ra!

Also, I thought I’d add a link to the FABULOUS Amsterdam gig I was alluding to in my vlog post because it’s fucking awesome and I love it. Oh, they were so good, SO GOOD! And Jim was just….my absolute wet dream back then! Delicious!

Adios, amigos!

    This occurred to me recently and I wonder what your thoughts are, but do you ever think that Jim might be craving that ‘buzz’ they got when they first started out and were playing to ( as Herr Kerr would say) “two men and a dog”?
    My reasoning is that the quotes you refer to are such an obvious point towards ‘retirement’ but there’s no way in a million years(from today 😎) that’s going to happen.
    I’d love to see a collaboration between Jim, Charlie and Mick with a Sons and Fascination vibe. The lyrics and voice would be way down in the mix with Mick being the driving force.
    Imagine that in a small venue such as Nice n Sleazy. Tremendous.
