LITCOL At 35
You know how lately I have talked about being a part from things, rather than feeling a part of things when relating to the Simple Minds fandom? Well, today is an absolute case in point. Fans waxing lyrical about LITCOL as Jim posts about the 35th Anniversary of its release. It’s not an album I…
