May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I just HAD to buy this for myself. I tell you…the day I get to “pass the baton on” to someone else will be ACE! JIM? MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR ME?! Lol…. Oh, well…the cat really *is* out the bag now… Though to be fair, like Schrodinger’s cat…I’m not sure the cat was ever IN…
On the quest to create a lyric piece for every track on every SM studio album (minus Neon Lights as it’s a covers album and contains not a single Kerr lyric – doing something like Street Hassle is a different affair…one cover in an otherwise full Kerr lyric written SM album is a different kettle…
Of the two TOTP appearances for Glittering Prize, Jim seems much more “up for it” with this performance. More animated. I like all the moves in this one. He’s a bit stilted in the other…which, I sometimes prefer…but I just like the shapes he throws in this one…and…well, he’s stunning 🙂 ??

He was 24! TWENTY FOUR! Fuck me sideways… “In the crutch-hungry dark”…I mean…just…WHAT A LINE! I’ve been having a Bowie night…and…well, as the post title says…this is a masterpiece.
As he shares a photo of the ilk of the blurred imagery of the Sons And Fascination cover art, I am reminded of a beautiful blend of imagery I made for Someone Somewhere In Summertime. I’d share it there…but he would no doubt get pissed off…but it is one I am still particularly proud of….
For you…
Assuming the YouTube account holder is the person responsible for this. Very nicely done cover! Could have done with a clean finish or fade out, but otherwise…really good! Thanks to Carlos Pascual on the SMO FB visitor wall for posting!
I was just….pondering about things. If, as my suspicions/ theory is correct and there could be a January release of the new Simple Minds album…I *may* just…nothing is certain at the moment…on ANY of it…but I MAY just have a reason to be visiting Glasgow again in January. It would be great if stars aligned…
