Words Of Eloquence
Such wonderful words from Jeffery Clifford.
40 Years In Ink
Now, you guys know I have a couple of SM tattoos…but nothing on the scale of THIS! This leg of amazing tattoos belongs to Russ Field and what an amazing job his tattooist has done! Forty years of the Simple Minds journey in one big multi tattoo display. Wow! Thank you to Russ for allowing…
The Power Of Music
I really hope I can get this to work, because it is one of the most wonderful things you will ever see. The newspapers…the local Dundee ones…there is a young man pictured in the Evening Telegraph, dancing. His name is Paul and he was dancing his heart out at the gig last night. His mum…
Dream Given!

Bowie And Butler
David Bowie is… was still on in Melbourne when I got out to Oz in 2015. I really thought about flying down there to see it for my birthday, but thought it would be highly unfair on the OH to go without her (seeing as we both missed out on going to the exhibition in…
How Bloody RUDE!!!
We all age at different rates and ways. Jim can do things I can’t, and I’m 11 years younger than him! This is so disrespectful! Honestly! There’s NOTHING wrong with them! And you’re obviously sssooo proud of the way you look, you’ve got a modern picture of yourself as your profile pic- NOT! JIM KEEPS…
