May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
It’s been seven years. Seven years since I became that rabid “obsessive”. Seven years since the world of Simple Minds truly opened up to me. I was reminded of the fact of how…embedded in this new-found “obsession” I was by a post that appeared in my FB “memories” a couple of days back. The memory…
Let’s try and reset the clock and think of the good things. Before I start that – thank you to Sage, who commented on a previous post with some rather apt – as her name suggests – sage words. I’d like to think I am intelligent enough, and I know what needs to be done…

I don’t know what this is any more. I obviously want it to be more than it is. More than it can be. I’m too emotionally invested in this thing. I have been for years now. And I have been too frightened to cut the ties completely. Still praying to be liked. Still praying for…
The guys at Sardinya Simple Minds (fan group) had a rather spectacular evening, watching Italy bring home the Euro 2020 trophy with some very special company in downtown Taormina last night. Nice to see that “the boys” are Alive And Kicking…It In. And for Jim, the best team won. Yay! Celebrations abound.
I think it has been coming for some time. I think I might be spent. Done. I don’t think I have any more to give. It is a heavy heart that I say this with. My personal fandom for Simple Minds has altered. I love them. I absolutely love them! I can still wax lyrical…
I had a mix of dreams this morning. Some were a little anxiety inducing. Others were just about all I dream of every day of my life. I was sitting in a rather fantoosh looking kitchen…a kind of breakfast bar area of this kitchen. So…not in my house this place. I guess I was in…
A couple of days ago I decided to leave all the Simple Minds FB groups I was a member of. All of them. That also meant handing in my moderators badge at Simple Minds International. To be honest, I was always flabbergasted that Gordon bestowed the thing upon me. And I was never of any…
It’s just the same old crap over and over. Are the band the same without Mick, Derek, Mel? Are they even Simple Minds with only Jim and Charlie left? They’re a mockery now. Play Butlins. They’re not Simple Minds any more. YA DA FUCKING YA! Is it any wonder I am steering clear of the…
I don’t discuss any individual fans contributions at all, but I do discuss certain elements in the book – so if you want a full surprise of what’s inside for your Christmas Day, or own reading enjoyment… DON’T WATCH THE VIDEO! And below will be my own entry in the book, so… Well, I shared…

Oh, geez. I really stirred things up on SMOG last night. I really didn’t think it would be commented on in such volume. I thought maybe a few of us would still be waiting for the book to arrive. Not as many people as that would still be waiting for it. But lo… Then Ronnie…
