May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
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…

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…
“They’ll be coming” – not exactly the three little words most people will get filled with an overriding sense of joy and the HUGEST avalanche of relief from but…you know…I think we’ve established I’m not “most people”. Lol But those words on Friday? That’s how they made me feel. I wasn’t going to go into…
Ah…you know what I was saying in my video(s) yesterday about being mildly gutted if my fan bit is not in the book…well… Seemingly those who are in it have been receiving emails about it being confirmed that YES – they ARE in the book and that they can see their piece in the book…
“He don’t say much. He’s bored with the fans.“ – it’s how it feels anyway. And if I hear one more “he’s a busy man” excuse, I’ll scream! Because…HE IS ALWAYS BUSY! He is Jim fucking Kerr – apart from me using “fucking” just now – “busy” is his middle name – for want of…
