May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Or am I reading the ACTUAL lines? Contradictions? Oxymorons? Paradoxes? I’m no longer sure what it is now…or what I do with it? Everything in life is always open to our own interpretations of it and of course many things affect our interpretation of things – our own mental state being the biggest contributing factor…
I legitimately get to study Kerr’s Ass this week… oh, I have been savouring this week of study. ??
Picking up where I left off from yesterday… I didn’t really say too much about the actual soundcheck. And I can only remember two of the songs that were performed – Hypnotised (seemed pretty apt for me! Lol) and The Walls Came Down (which Jim said will be on the new album coming out). It…
