May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
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!

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!
Real Life era Mr. Poser. Lol. Look at him posing his little socks off on the left!
