Sexy Bhoy Sings A “Love Song”
God…he is just…so…so…PLEASE, SOMEONE…just…HAVE MERCY ON ME!!! Jim Kerr…if it has not been obvious to you for the past seven months (or more)…as reflected in a title of a David Bowie song, “I Would Be Your Slave”. I am at your mercy. Do with me as you wish and see fit (that’ll be nothing –…
My Other Gem I Need To Frame…

Sir Kerr – Harbourside in Oz, 1989. Pics from Sounds magazine, Dec, 1989. And one can never have too many boots! Winklepickers were the mode of the period, it would seem?
