RIP ‘Sweet’ Jaine

RIP ‘Sweet’ Jaine

Such desperately sad news reached the Simple Minds fanbase today, Jaine Henderson has passed away. I spoke to Jaine twice when I conducted my first interview for the blog. When I approached her initially she had reservations and graciously declined my request. Just a few days later though, she got back in contact with me…

Minds Music Monday – Love Song – SAF/SFC 40th Anniversary Celebration

The song was written at the beginning of 1981 in Edinburgh after a conversation between Jim and John Leckie in which Leckie thought Jim should try his hand at writing a more “traditional” love song. Kerr’s is anything but traditional. In fact, I am firmly of the belief that it is anything BUT a love…

Minds Music Monday – Act Of Love

I always consider it an “act of love” that these, let’s face it – barely adult boys (yes, screaming oxymoron there!) – would form a band and rehearse and play and that most gorgeous of those boys (bias!) would be the glue that acts as the cohesion to get it all to gel with his…

Priptona Talks – To Jaine Henderson: Part Two

Here is part two of my interview with Jaine Henderson. Sometimes things were not without some bizarre set of dangers, like the time Jaine found herself a hair’s breadth away from being jailed for “possession of a concealed weapon”. Lights would fuse. Wires would fray. Things needed repairing on the spot and the easiest way…

Priptona Talks – To Jaine Henderson: Part One

I had the privilege to conduct my first ever professional interview for this blog with Simple Minds’ (and indeed Johnny And The Self Abusers) original lighting technician, Jaine Henderson. Upon gathering my notes to compile the transcript from the interview, what became clear to me was, despite my wanting to talk to Jaine about her…

Don’t Let’s Ask For The Moon – We Have The Stars

I know I shouldn’t say this. I shouldn’t share it here but…I WANT TO BE JAINE! Just…something so innocuous as seeing a film with him. I just wish. And for a TARDIS. For it to be then…as much as I would still want it to be now. I can see the imagery in my head….

Sweet Jaine…

Oh, you lucky thing, Miss Henderson… And I can only assume the Muriel in question is Muriel Gray? Again… Oh, but Jaine…I read those early passages of the Adam Sweeting book, and I sssooo wanted to be her! And…he even says in his post “I was developing a crush”. Man alive! How I wish! Lucky…

Burning Gold Memories

Such a wonderfully written piece by Sir today. I still have that envious feeling! Like I did when I read the Bowie biography I read years back. Through the hectic MainMan years…and, oh, to have been Coco Schwab! What an amazing life she’s had, being by his side. Of course, the bit that tugs at…
