You Don’t Have To…
Is the title of a John Grant song, and appropriate for this message I received this evening ?????? Thank you, John.

Simple Minds – RAM Magazine – Jan 20, 1984
There isn’t much to it, really. A review of a Barras gig from Adam Sweeting, then a short one page interview about Sparkle In The Rain. On the back page was an ad for the Narara festival. There are two previously unseen (by me at least!) pics of Jim within the spread, which I scanned…

Sorry Mr Nearly Sixty…
Thanks for making me feel about [this] small! (Isn’t it enough you make me feel a basket case when I’m standing in front of you?) But…I love you too 🙂 ??
Brothel Creeping At The Shops For DMs
The gang have been out shopping today…minus Charles B, it seems. Jim and Gordy both bought variations of “brothel creepers” – no more to be said there! Lol Sarah said she bought THREE PAIRS – Cherisse bought two. Did Ged buy any? Not sure whether he was alluding to being of such ample foot, he…
Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

The Dreaming…
That is going on with this info… Imma just gonna leave this here and just…CROSS EVERYTHING! Initially I was thinking about seeing him in Berlin next year, for Bowie Berlin bucket list mega tick off… Oh, but if Bryan did Oz…and SM were there too?! HOLY FUCKING FUCKNUTS!

Theatre Marquee Signs
One of the things that keeps capturing my imagination on this American tour are those wonderful marquee signs that many of the venues in the USA still use. It’s a simple advertising technique, but it looks really beautiful in its odd way. Maybe it’s just a nostalgia thing on my part? But I just find…
