Well maybe SMOG will get better. But I fear it’ll be VERY selective and VERY exclusive. And…I have no memories from a lifetime ago…nothing of any significance to contribute so I’ll keep schtum. My memories will probably just be shared here on the blog. This post from Carol Loudon deserved its posting to SMOG. It’s…
Well, what the Simple Minds fandom really needed was yet ANOTHER Facebook group. Sigh. I’m already in f*** knows how many. But the latest is “official”.

Daily visits…devouring voraciously the wealth of information on the site. It was utterly invaluable and helped me learn so much about the history of the band and a…
Today I will try and get some things done on the blog. I have audio to put up. The extract of Joe Donnelly’s interview with Debbie McGee, Jim Kerr’s interview with Janice Long, and all four parts of the history of Scottish pop – the compendium to the Rip It Up exhibition, currently on display…
Jim, I miss you. There are things about you that drive me absolutely nuts. I’m sure the reverse is also true. Of course it would be! I never deluded myself it could be anything else. But I miss…a new day. A day full of promise, and hope and joy. And you would always be at…
