Let There Be Love – Video Stills
Working on part two of the video stills montage – in readiness for Kerrsed Thursday (my attempt to have less Jim Kerr and more actual Simple Minds content on this blog – will explain more this coming Thursday). Anyway….here are some rejected stills that didn’t make the cut. I call this one the “F***! I stubbed…

The Anchoress – Confessions Of A Romance Novelist

Jim Kerr Interview – Explaining The Skype Sound on “Blood Type O”
Have never seen this bit of interview until just now. He is wonderfully animated. Wonderful bit of Glastaliano at the beginning :-))) And the bit about his mum at the end :-(( Funny…but sad, given what happens just over a year later :-((( (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Why I Love…Citizen (Dance of Youth)
A wonderfully political snapshot of Eastern Europe of the late 1970s. If you think Simple Minds only became political in the mid to late 80s…listen to this and you know you’re mistaken. I know I go on about Jim’s songwriting, but I do for a reason, it’s bloody good!! His words are just always so…
