May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
priptona-weird: Visual “ode” to a man-bag. Vive la man-bag! I confess to posting this on the Simple Minds Official FB visitor wall. He replied. Now we know what’s in the bag! Lol (I’m assuming that’s what he’s telling me, anyway.)
Jim’s voice, and his lyrics. They are deep (both voice AND lyrics), as per usual in these early years. His lyrics have a depth beyond his tender years at this point in the Simple Minds story. He so very quickly becomes such a stark, bold lyricist. The imagery he conveys is startling. God, can you…
Lyric of the day Song: New Warm Skin Single: B-Side to “I Travel”. Year of release: 1980 Words: Jim Kerr
Itty bitty mention of Simple Minds from a Countdown episode from March 6th, 1983. (Just quickly recorded from iPad…will try and share a proper version off USB stick at a later time) REALLY hope there will be something more substantial in the final Rage retro week next week. Fingers crossed xx
Oh, dear! Lol. HE’S IN **THE** JUMPER!!!
Time for a TARDIS gig wish. I’ve incorporated my Christmas gift TARDIS mug into the image as well now :-)) Fire her up!
Lyric of the day Song: Great Leap Forward Album: Good News From The Next World Year of release: 1995 Written by: Kerr/Burchill (album credits)
You know…I really do think Virginia Turbett is my favourite photographer…I have *NO IDEA* why… ? ? ? ? ?
Lyric of the day Song: Careful In Career Album: Sister Feelings Call Year of release: 1981 Words: Jim Kerr A.K.A – The Kerrster 😉 (not that I would call him that! – Even though I just did…oops!) Bloody love this song!
One final collage of the most splendid of men in a white collared shirt. I hope you all have enjoyed this week’s Kerrsday Thursday. I feel as though I have made amends for the lack of content from the previous 2 weeks. Until next week, cheerio!
