May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Sometimes I come away from the art for a short while – but he always draws me back in. I literally just CANNOT stop looking at him and so the only way I feel justified in doing so is…to make art and have him as the centrepiece. He’s always the focal point. There’s just…an aesthetic…
I worked on two art pieces yesterday. The first one…I knew what I wanted from it, but it didn’t really come together. I’m not sure I like it. I love him on that Whistle Test appearance though ???? The other was going to be another attempt, but it quickly morphed into something else and took…
Continuing on a Swedish theme…his Kerrness, in a bath in a hotel writing lyrics for this in the summer of 1982, in Sweden. Nom Nom Nom
Before the day ends…there was this today. And I know it shouldn’t! It just shouldn’t…but…holy hell – it just means the whole world to me. Such a silly thing. He probably never gave it a second’s thought straight after….but for me? Well, you know. I love words and a word from him means everything. Everything.

A FULL amateur filmed gig from 1991 in Munich has appeared on YouTube. I only stumbled upon it late last night so I haven’t watched much of it. Enough of it to see he was in full scissor kick glory that night – two of them in the space of three minutes. Which then obviously…
This is the last place I am mentioning it, strangely enough. So, I will just copy the rest of my blurb from posting about it on Facebook… It might be a strange one to give away as it is so personalised… but there’s no point in me keeping this copy. I already have a matt…
It has been playing on my mind so much lately, it was in my dreams this morning. I haven’t dreamed of him for some time. The scenario was…backstage, at a soundcheck. Myself and a few other female fans. I’m unsure how I even got to be there given how the dream panned out. He was…
