Yet ANOTHER Video For Vision Thing…
This one taking in Taormina in all its perceived splendour. I’m sure it’s quite beautiful but…hey, you know – there are plenty of breathtaking places around the world. The important bit is the song and the lyrics. I love the song and the lyrics. Jim’s glare to camera at the beginning…that’s a “Vision Thing“. (“Larrrrellllllllle…
ONE WEEK TO GO! NGD CELEBRATIONS BEGIN!
Oh! Next weekend! The weather promises to be grand! I have VIP tickets for both shows. My t-shirt arrived this morning as well. I’m all set. Still have to study in the meantime though! Buddhism in practice. Seems rather apt somehow… Anyway, here’s a vid. Haven’t even watched it all myself yet. Just eager to…

So I have decided to rekindle the old Kerrsday Thursday by sharing some of the phots I have enjoyed seeing from this year’s tour so…
The ‘Family’ and the Black Sheep
I wish I could believe this. I wish it felt this way for me, but it rarely has. There is a distinct and marked bias towards fans that have been around for a long time. To espouse the notion that there isn’t…? I myself don’t see it. I entered the Simple Minds fanbase with a…
Black Cold Night
Today’s post from Jim – much like yesterday’s…I can feel it ramping up. I get that he loves Italy…but I always feel like…something kind of ugly overtakes him whenever SM play there. Something … “unattractive” happens. All the bravado and the smugness creeps in. Today when I read the post I thought “Geez, you’re sounding…
