Minds Music Monday – Happy Birthday Mick MacNeil
In praise and gratitude for today’s birthday boy.
Chasing “The Hit” and The “All Time Low” That Follows
OMG! It is SUCH a drug! And I am such an addict! I know how stupid and pathetic it sounds but…perhaps it is all just link to all the good things I’ve felt in my life these past few years? It’s sad! But, like tonight. I see him post and…I feel a high. “He’s posted!…

The Ties That Bind…
I love learning new things, making new discoveries, esp. when they happen serendipitously. The radio was on in the background. Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream) was playing.

Simple Minds Magazine Article – Mojo Magazine Early 2012
It’s a clipping I only recently came into possession of and I had never (for obvious reasons) read the article before. Some interesting things said. Interesting to read Mick saying that he thought they’d have all stayed together…maybe might had still been together (as of then) if Brian hadn’t have left when he did. Also…
