In Here The Sun Shines So Bright – From The “Burning Gold” Memories.
Looking in from the outer, I see some tentative improvement on “The Group”. At least a few more memories are filtering through and the admins at SMOG (well, more accurately, the admins at SMO via SMOG…same admins?

I’m Done – Prip Has Left The Building
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…
Burning Gold Memories…
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.

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…
