May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Bottom row, third from left – a 10 year old Jim Kerr. The U-11 St Brigid’s Primary School, Toryglen, Glasgow, football team. He said: “I scored the odd goal but was an average player at best. I was never destined to play for Celtic!”
“You’re sending me rockets” – Rockets, Simple Minds
“I still want you” – Rockets, Simple Minds I still want you too, Jim š
“We have a very big sound. We use kind of chords which journalists call ‘musical landscapes’ and such”
And the world goes hot,And the cities take,And the beat goes crashing,All along the way. New Gold Dream (81, 82, 83, 84) – Simple Minds
Michael MacNeil’s spider fingers on the keyboard hook of New Gold Dream.
Jim Kerr introducing Someone Somewhere (In Summertime) on The Tube in Dec, 1982
Time for song six on the old āDream Setlistā. This is quite possibly my favourite Simple Minds songā¦if not in my definite Top 5. If I could only have ONE SONG to be played liveā¦it would be this! They never even did it on the 5×5 tour in 2012. OUTRAGUOUS!! I bloody love this song….
The young boys – Jim Kerr, Derek Forbes, Charlie Burchill, Michael MacNeil, Mike Ogletree.
What’s in the box, Jim? Is it your “New Gold Dream”? š
