May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Is *not* a thing I imagine Jim is thinking right now of me. Lol. He’s probably relishing being 12,000 miles away! If there is even a thought about it at all. In the story of the Kerr family’s ALMOST emmigration to Australia, I am also glad his mum had a change of heart, because there…
As always I stress that, primarily, this is a personal blog…but one that is seen, for the most part, through my passion and love for Simple Minds. On that point, I’d like to kid myself that within that wording, a smidgen of that gratitude came my way. That as one who feels they continue to…
Thank you to those of you who have followed the blog from the early days, and those who have just joined. Never expected a single follower, but to have over 200 of you now is amazing! Thank you x
I really don’t know what to do with this blog at the moment. In the past, today would be a “Kerrsday Thursday” – the day coined as a lame excuse for some ogling. Be it by pictures or video. I’ve pretty much shared every pic I have been able to without infringing copyright…and others I…
In the past three weeks, the feelings and emotions I derived from the band I love(d) have changed…dramatically. I’m not sure how I am going to continue this blog and be truly objective, for one! And, it probably stopped being objective on January 5th, 2016…the day of the Hunter And The Hunted post. I need…
The best of today’s shared interviews – Jim’s words on Kirsty MacColl in particular are wonderful. He elaborated a little more on the SMO post. You can view the whole interview on the SongFacts blog by CLICKING HERE And, in case for some reason, it disappears from the comments, my response to a particular part…
As renewal for the blog comes up, I ask that you may consider a small donation, if you enjoy the blog. Yes, it’s personal…but there is band info here, etc, and I do not monitise the site…nor do I wish to! So, if you could spare a few quid, it would help so much. Thank…
I feel sickeningly behind time with the blog at the moment. I have several audio clips of recent interviews to share…plus I never really gave any real reviews of the gigs themselves…was finding that hard when the four ran pretty much back to back, with only one day’s break between London and Paris. Gillian and…
A great source of Simple Minds images and wonderful fan stories and memories can be found at a Google + page by Stuart Holland. You can visit Stuart’s page by clicking on the image below.
I’m trying to keep the site fresh and appealing (even though it *is* a personal blog, and Kerr rich/heavy). I’m pretty broke at the mo. Spending is at a minimum. I can’t spend out to source rare material from magazines, etc. The art keeps going…but, well, there’s only so much SM themed art I can…
