May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I wish I could believe this. I wish it felt this way for me, but it rarely has. There is a distinct and marked bias towards fans that have been around for a long time. To espouse the notion that there isn’t…? I myself don’t see it. I entered the Simple Minds fanbase with a…
This will always be one of my most cherished memories – and quite possibly my favourite photo I have ever had with any member (past or present) of Simple Minds. Humility and grace – this man has it in spades! Happy Birthday, Mick – you wonderful man. ???
Today’s post from Jim – much like yesterday’s…I can feel it ramping up. I get that he loves Italy…but I always feel like…something kind of ugly overtakes him whenever SM play there. Something … “unattractive” happens. All the bravado and the smugness creeps in. Today when I read the post I thought “Geez, you’re sounding…
Well, it was a great year in music… ‘72. I wanted it to be something that took away some of the sting from missing the Tao gig, but it’s just added to it. I was ssooo proud if this piece. But there we go. “Pride comes before a fall” – that’s what they say, right?…
I hadn’t been in the city since coming home from England after the Blenheim gig. And prior to that? For some time to hang out in there? Dunno when the last time was… the end of May, probably. My afternoon out with Michelle for her birthday. Promised myself a day in there all week while…

OK, it’s Friday night – we need something sexy and weirdly suggestive. How about Jim putting his mic through a tambourine (in quite possibly the sexiest SM clip EVER to exist)? Yep…I thought so. You’re welcome 😉
New vinyl acquisition!! Finally got a copy of the Celebrate album on vinyl. Have been keeping my eye out for a bargain one. This one was being sold on eBay for £20. It had one minor flaw (seen in the photos), that being small splits at the bottom of the both inner sleeves. The seller…

Jim Kerr is like manna from heaven (but what do I know?)… 😉 (Hark at me and my cheeky SM song lyric puns!)
I actually shared one of these on the official Simple Minds Facebook page (the one on the right) – Chrissy’s now a fully-fledged member of the SM fan club :-)) As explained when I shared the photo with them – this was NOT a plant! She jumped onto the bed and started “smooching” the CDs….
