Someone’s Washing In The Shower…
Jim revealing that he washes just like every other man in the entire world – oxters, sack, crack. That’s it. 60 seconds. Done! Lol
Superb Owl Advertising – Hoo Ha, Blah blah, La La La La
It’s one of the world’s biggest sporting events and it centres around American Football – and THAT, my friends, is the full extent of my knowledge of the Superbowl – or as I like to invariably refer to it as “Superb Owl” – as, quite frankly, I’d devote a heck of a lot more of…

Minds Music Monday – Don’t You Forget About… Sweat In Bullet
It’s the 18th of November, 1982 and Mel Gaynor is making his live debut for Simple Minds as they play to a raucous home crowd at Tiffany’s in the “Dear Green Place”. Mel’s an accomplished drummer, no question there! But he’s still learning the SM repertoire of songs. Of course he’s familiar enough with what’s…

Simple Minds Top Five
A surprising Simple Minds Top 5, I’d say but probably not from an American fan stand point. And nothing really discussed post 1986 which, well…given the broader subject of this YouTuber’s channel is 1980s music, it makes sense.

Minds Music Monday – 35 Years At Number One
Lol. Well, a slight exaggeration there. But it was on this day 35 years ago, that Simple Minds scored their (as til now) only U.S. Number 1 when Don’t You (Forget About Me) topped the charts there. To celebrate at the time, Jim got drunk in France, ordering champangne for everyone in the hotel bar….

Jim Kerr – Da For Hire!
Muriel Gray interviews Jim “let me be your daddy” Kerr – the end to this interview shouldn’t have piqued my interest quite as much as it did….but what can I say. Gawd! The stutter is still there quite pronounced. I just want to lick him!!!! OMG! HELP ME!!! I knew of him back then! I…
What A Night, Old Fruity
Well, I was freaking out that I wasn’t going to make it for the 6pm arrival time as I was still at the house waiting for a taxi to come collect me at 5.40pm. It’s Saturday night in Glasgow… traffic will be heaving! But it was mercifully fine. I still can’t quite get my head…
Don’t You (Forget About Me) – Live In The City Of Angels
I think I may actually like this more than the Love Song offering. What’s going on, guv? Lol I’m still not sure about how much overdubbing has been done…dunno. Jim’s voice seems more natural and recorded “on the night” than it does on Love Song. I’m feeling a little more optimistic after this. The other…

Simple Minds Reveal New Lead Singer!
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage… Jim Cur! Lol (only meant in jest and for some fun, obviously. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to play with the “Kerr/Cur” homophone). ???? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jackson (@actionjackson1213)
