May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
The YouTube ‘rabbit hole’ had me stumble upon this one. I chose a list of ‘unplayed’ Simple Minds YT videos. Down the list, this appeared. It was the wording on the ident of the video that initially caught my eye, made me curious and had me listen to it. “Darkness has never been so bright”…

No dreams of Jim this year. Then that has been the case for a few years now. I used to look forward to those beautiful Christmas dreams – like I’d get my very own Solstice Kiss. About the only chance I’d get for one, that’s for sure! Lol. Anyhooooo – had I been able to…
And, boy, what a treat these are! Look at these! I found myself looking through a folder of photos linked to the Simple Minds Facebook page a few days ago and these gems showed up! Jim looks absolutely MAGNIFICENT in these. What a babe! I wanted to share these ssoooo much but decided that the…
The Neapolis talk. I’m glad he pulled himself up there because it is NOT true that it’s just himself and Charlie that like it. Bloody hell! One of those nostalgic things in which I can share an “exchange” – he pulled me up for not mentioning Song For The Tribes – which he mentioned to…
In the final MMM before Christmas I didn’t really know what song I was going to choose. So much so that I started to look through the list of commercially released songs on Dream Giver Redux for some inspiration, and what I thought about doing initially was finding a song from more recent years to…

It has me concentrating on Christmas whilst simultaneously doing absolutely FUCK ALL about Christmas. I haven’t even put the tree up yet. Its been sitting in its box via the…
So, what do I say here? This is the inaugural post for Fanatical Friday and it can be about anything music related. It doesn’t have to be about Simple Minds…but…this first one will be. Last night I listened to “Traffic” and the Acoustic Mix of it. That aspect I will leave for discussion on Monday…
Before the day disappears…I decided to have some fun and do a “Kerrsday Christmas” fun bit of fan ‘art’. Lol I love doing stuff like this. And, erm…Santa…COME ON, man! Just…a wee dream? You used to let me have nice dreams about him. Now even that’s all gone. Cannae get a break, I swear!
A bit late to it. Not sure whether it was down to the date of the magazine going up on Readly or whether they are just behind the eight ball but…better late than never as they say… It’s not a bad one, all things considered. It is certainly detailed. P.S. JUMP YOU SAY? Is this…
