May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Thought I’d better get away from this John Grant fixation for a bit. Bring this blog back to its main purpose of being a Simple Minds **cough! – Jim Kerr ogling – cough!** blog. What a venue this place in Hamburg looked?! My friend Yvonne (aka Birdy!) went over there especially for it…lucky lady! No…
Thirteen months ago, today… I was in Adelaide, staying with my friend Janis and her family. I couldn’t sleep. I had tattoos done that day and sleeping on my back and left side was causing a little discomfort. Jim had shared John Grant’s Pale Green Ghosts for his post about St Patrick’s Day. And so,…

Just…LOOK AT HIM!) I really won’t be able to look him in the eye if the opportunity for eye contact avails itself…
And while I am counting down the days to Glasgow…I am also counting down the days to seeing this man in London on May 2nd. I am positively ODing on his music right now in the lead up to the gig. He’s incredible. I really cannot wait for this! Champing at the bit…
I’ll be able to check-in my Easyjet flight from Luton on Tuesday. OH MY GOD!!!
