I Want To Stop Wanting To Talk To Him!
I prepare myself to go. Ready to walk away. Leave him be. At least take a break until my birthday…or just after. See if it is possible to give up a drug I am finding myself increasingly addicted to… And then… It’s like he knew… You….just had to bring up the subject of birds, didn’t…
Weekend WhirliGIG Wish – The Tube, Nov 26th, 1982
A visual one for this week. Their Friday night appearance on The Tube. It went out live. There’s an audience there. We can call that a gig, not merely a TV appearance. (It’s also where the pic for the “whirliGIG” artwork came from). Enjoy…

Glasgow January Dreaming…
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…
