May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
A short half page spread in local Mexican newspaper Reforma on Thursday night’s gig at the Pepsi Center. I don’t have the best Spanish (well, any Spanish at all, actually) but, quickly casting an eye over it…seriously? We’re still bringing up Jim’s marriages? What exactly it has to do with the price of fish and…
Now to me, this illustrates the difference between optimism and delusion. That poor tortoise…he’s not flying, is he?! That’s NOT optimism. THAT’S delusion! Optimism is viewing the glass as half full.

I took some screengrabs of the interview….and then…I just had to be a fool ????
I’m gonna hope this works. I will try and link…who knows how successful it will be? About an hour ago now, Jim was going interviewed on radio station Sirius XM. It went out live on FB…let’s hope the link works for playback…
