May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Well… (this comes with a bold **OVERSHARE** warning attached) A lot and not much happened in 1989 in equal measure. I was 18 for most of the year and was in two relationships – if we could deem one of them a relationship – and…yeah. Firstly, and most prominently, for me – the sex obsessed…
I’ve come up with an idea. For wanting to be able to interview Jim and knowing that as much as I would like for it to happen this blog is NEVER going to be seen as ‘professional’ enough to get the chance to interview him, then…let’s examine, dissect and discuss things he has said in…
Yesterday four arrived and then today, another four! The first one is another from the photoshoot at the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm, and the next is one from the day before the gig, taken on June 8th, 1989. So I kind of now have a complete set of photos of the Street Fighting Years gig…
Some new arrivals for this Kerrsday. The first three are all promo photos taken of Jim inside the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm. The black and white photo has a newspaper headline attached to it on the back that translates in English as saying, “Jim Kerr in Simple Minds visited Stockholm Stadium on Saturday, where the…
A few more recent acquisitions…. The Mecano one is already up on display. Oh, I do like to live vicariously!
Well, for me anyways. Quite a number of photos I hadn’t seen before in the pages of this little booklet. I’m sharing most of the previously unseen (by me) photos within. A few of them have been around before but I just liked scanning them and having a perhaps better copy than I previously did….
I couldn’t post this one on YouTube, so here it is. That’s all of them now. Happy Weekend!
Here is a selection of the things that were on the Oz TV SM DVD that arrived the other day. I put them up on YouTube to save space on my blog. Here goes… And the interview from yesterday – minus the bit of Prince Charles I snuck into it yesterday.
I absolutely LOVED Graham Kennedy. Known as “The King” in Australia, he wasn’t without his controversy. He particularly enjoyed performing impressions of Australian crows (which are actually ravens – just putting that ornithological fact out there for you) – which can sound like they are swearing rather painfully if you’ve ever heard them? Anyway….I have…
OMG! Those clips on the DVD were GOLD DUST! There’s a clip from 1989 from Good Morning Australia (seemingly) – Basia Bonkowski is interviewing Jim and well…just watch the clip below. Lol (It’s the ears, right?) The observant amongst you MAY see something that actually shouldn’t be there. I couldn’t help myself. *smiles sheepishly*
