This was posted this morning on SM social media. Hmmm. Sparkle In The Rain period imagery. Though, maybe moving into more early 1985/DYFAM imagery (this was used for a picture disc of DYFFABMFFS (Don’t You Fucking Forget About Bloody Me For Fuck Sake)). Whatever it is….I can’t even begin to feign excitement. If it’s alluding to THAT song and there’s going to be some tour surrounding it – I’m out! I cannot get excited about that. Sorry. If it has anything at all to do with 1985 and 40th anniversaries of Just Don’t or Once Upon A Time…then, no. I pass.
Unless it can offer up something truly different to me, my time of going to Simple Minds gigs will be over – at least for the foreseeable future (therefore possibly for good). There’ll be enough interest from elsewhere. Their coffers will be filled nonetheless so…
I hope I am proved wrong and there is something truly inspired coming with this but…there hasn’t been anything that inspired and different since….probably Acoustic. More likely it was 5×5 Live.
I was too in love before and too keen to “make up for lost time” to care to much what I was offered up tour wise. That ship has sailed.
Show me what you’ve got guys! Let’s see what “surprise” we have on Friday. You’re gonna have to truly surprise me to win me round!
