May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
After show two I hung around the stage to see if a setlist might be on offer. After about 10 minutes I decided to give up. But before leaving the venue I thought “I’ll go over to GG and say goodnight.” “How was it?”, he asked. “Amazing!”, I said. “Did you get to see both…

Oh, how I wish I could straddle those first two descriptions, but I know I will only ever be steadfastly in the first. If I’m even in there. I might not be “real” enough to even fit that mould. *sigh* Probably why I never actually passed on good luck to the band in general (extended…
An interesting post on SMOG from a long-time fan, reminiscing about the Floating World tour of 2002. It gives a little pang of envy. I know this person has been relatively close to the band in the past. They have stories to tell. Lovely memories. You know…it sounds like more than just “band and fan”….
Not always. Not often at all, really. It just brings home to me the years missed. And…Jim felt like the glue that bonded the fanbase together. We talk with each other THROUGH him, so to speak. I miss that part of the interactivity soo much! That he was the catalyst. I see little point in…
I will never understand in a month of Sundays WHY someone feels the need to do this – ON A FAN GROUP! I used to love U2. I’m not a fan anymore (at least, I no longer consider myself a fan, even though I still appreciate and listen to the stuff I do love)…I don’t…
I know I’ve said it before…I keep saying it! (Something Jim said about Lou Reed and amplifiers springs to mind!) But…I MISS THE INTERACTIVITY! I miss Jim. Looking back on my blog last November, it is just full of FB posts from Jim and me just responding to what he was talking about and it…

Dunno) at least asked for some participation and contributions from fans yesterday. It may have legs yet. I…

I didn’t see the point of SMOG. I mean…the posting thing? I’m not concerned for myself. I don’t feel I have anything much to this group to contribute to be honest. I tend not to with any of the SM groups. Not posting to them myself anyway. Not very often. But I comment on posts…
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…
