May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I am loving this song SSSOOOO much right now, I felt compelled to try something out for it. I kind of got what I had in my mind visually to work…sorta…I dunno. Can’t tell. Everything looks so amazing fully formed in my head, and then I try to replicate what’s there and it rarely matches…

A Classic Pop feature looking back at the Mandela 70th Birthday concert. When music can make a real difference. Contributions from head organiser Jerry Dammers with Jim Kerr, Jazzie B, and Tony Hollingsworth.

Oh, bless them for sending me an email reminder, just…you know…in case I forget that next week I’ll be seeing the most beautiful man best band in the world. Like, as if I’m not already counting the days, hours, minutes before I see him them again.
