May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
He’s off to the other side of the world…and everything gets put on hold, for now. A personal, family bereavement means things may be a tad quiet here for a bit. But I shall try and keep the informative Minds news going for as much as possible over the next…few days…week. However long.
So Sir titled the post-gig post on SMO. And it did sound perfect from his description. And on to Melbourne they go. I was looking on social media for pics and vids and came across this on Twitter. Not the best pics, but it was that great Aussie sentiment that made me giggle. I miss…
A very interesting post from Jim this morning. An amazing little insight into how his mind ticks. I have spoken so much about the imagery that Simple Minds songs conjure up for me…in me, that it was fascinating to hear that the wordsmith himself has…well, what must be “alternate” imagery (unless it does derive from…

Now…if this had been 12 months ago? I would have been OVER THE MOON!!! But, it isn’t. It’s now…and I can’t afford to go back :-(((
Sir Kerr – Harbourside in Oz, 1989. Pics from Sounds magazine, Dec, 1989. And one can never have too many boots! Winklepickers were the mode of the period, it would seem?
I was really hoping I was going to see them in Oz when I was out there…but before I’d even left last year, it was apparent that wasn’t going to happen. Yet now…he still talks of it! I know they’ll eventually get there…but it would be SSOO lovely if I could have seen them there…
Too happy for words!
