The Ronnie Gurr “Simple Minds in Berlin 1980” Book
One last mention of it. Little did I know when I invested in two copies there was a chance of being a lucky “one in ten” of getting a signed copy of the book. Did I perhaps make my chance one in five, having bought two copies? (I used to be fairly good at maths…it’s…

This Boy, Though (Part 775)

Conte Fly Reply…
Again, he later tempered his reply (having edited it several times again) to Conte about his grievance (that we kind of share, by the way). One part of it though…”Minds shows are about precision”.
