May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Later today (local BST – British Summer Time), an auction of all the penguins that had been on display as part of Maggie’s Penguin Parade go under the hammer. The one that Fiona Sutherland co-created and Simple Minds sponsored (and have signed for the auction) being one of them. You can see the SM sponsored…
Working on trying to get my muse back. It has forsaken me for such a long while now. Tonight there was a tangible inkling of it. The only way I’ll get it back is to work at it. Persevere. And geez, I wish I could paint. But I really, REALLY need the room! So…I need…
Yesterday, on my Facebook “memories”, it was revealed to me it was the anniversary of me taking possession of a set of vintage prints by Stefan de Batselier. And to my surprise and wonderment, I heard from Stefan, thanking me for giving him photographer’s credit on the photos. Well, that credit was long overdue. I…
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?

Bruce Findlay is just…one of the loveliest men, EVER! I could, quite literally, talk to him until the cows come home. I nearly bloody did back in June at the end of the Rip It Up talk. Lol. He was about the last person to leave the building. Thanks for today 🙂
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…
Time and again fans ask “when’s your book coming out, Jim?” Now, for one…I would have thought if he was under a publisher’s contract for a book, it would be nigh on impossible for him to post some of the things he does on FB…contractual obligations, so on and so forth. I don’t know this…
