What To Say – What NOT To Say…
More to come about Paris soon…. How much more? Unsure. For now? This. ????

Cannoli Get Better?
Good news from His Nibs today in his latest post. A number of good news pieces, for him – Villa Angela has once again opened its doors (just in case that whole “being the frontman for the best live band in the world” suddenly starts to go all pear-shaped after 40+ years, like). Whilst it…
What Does Bob Know About Art Anyway?
“You don’t learn how to be an artist by going to school. It’s something you’re born with. It’s about observing the world – but laying down your own truth.” The quote above was at the end of Jim’s post today, credited to Bob Lefsetz. Before I continue on about Lefsetz I want to say that…
Minds Music Monday – Hunter And The Hunted – Australia, 1982
There’s a recording I have from Sydney but there is one on YT from Melbourne – same tour, around 10 days apart. To me, when I listen to both these recordings, Jim sounds thoroughly exhausted – especially on both recordings of Hunter And The Hunted – and they both are placed early in the set….

Countdown To Paris – Gig Day!
Arrived safely in Paris. It’s aeound 6am And Ii’m typing without my glasses on. Had hardly any sleep. Serenaded by the snorer from hell. Thought I packed earplugs but couldn’t find them in my bag. Much to my detriment. Sorry for any typos but…. YAY! GIG DAY IN PARIS!!!
A Kerr – I Care…
A curious thing happened yesterday. Jim posted a photo of himself and Gordy – looking for all the world like a coupla Glesga gangstas – a great image, really, esp. as it was given more menace by Jim’s face being obscured by shade. Despite it feeling much like “pissing in the wind” these days, I…
New Book Release by Sheila Rock
I had discussions about this with Malcolm Garrett as he said he was feeling a little nervous and overwhelmed to be asked to contribute to it (I think it might be this particular release anyway). He at least spoke to me about Sheila bringing out a book and I am guessing this may be the…
The Dream Interviewee – In *MY* Dreams
I couldn’t sleep last night. I had done my usual thing of listening to The Archers (Can’t believe how long I have been listening to it now. I still avoid the theme tune like the plague though – timing it to perfection. As soon as I hear the man say “you’re listening to” – I…
The Definition Of “Sick”
I follow Etienne’s account on Facebook as well and I shared this photo on my feed with this comment: I know Jim was sick at the gig but it is still one of my most favourite bootlegs of them all. And I love all the photos I’ve ever seen from this gig. I don’t think…
The Simple Minds Blog That Increasingly Feels Less Like A Simple Minds Blog
I haven’t shared very much about the tour here in all honesty. Unlike with previous tours where I felt very much a part of things most of the time, with the Acoustic Tour and then – with a sticky moment in between – the Walk Between Worlds tour, I was in “the heart of the…
