May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
BBC Radio Scotland “Classic Albums” host Davie Scott talks us through New Gold Dream, with input from Jim Kerr, Bruce Findlay, and “rent-a-gob”, Paul Morley (among others). And…there’s not even a single mention of the bath…even though Jim’s lyrics are discussed quite heavily. (Yep…the old Prip is slowly returning…ever happy to ogle) And you KNOW…

An excerpt from an interview with Steven van Zandt (Little Steven) in the latest Total Guitar magazine. A certain Mr Kerr gets a namecheck when van Zandt brings up South Africa and Artists Against Apartheid music collective.
I love this band, still…but…yeah, sadly that’s too much for me, and far too short notice too. If you are planning to go to Maidstone, for example, you have THREE DAYS to come up with the money – unless sold out beforehand. If not obvious what I am on about – Simple Minds today announced…

Purely because – needs must. My friend has travelled some 12,000 miles from Australia, and her schedule is VERY tight. If I am to meet her – and I *WANT* to meet her! (I HAVE to meet her!) – then…the Maidstone gig is on! For the sake of beautiful Ally, I will bring the sun…
One of those hallowed snippets of conversations with Jim I’d had in the past was about Stan…but I never looked into the full extend of Stan’s involvement with Mott The Hoople…to the degree that he WAS Mott’s vocalist until Ian Hunter stepped in.
