May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr

And as I was retiring for bed last night (well, technically early this morning – as it was posted at midnight on the dot!) a post landed on the Simple Minds FB page… Of course there is no recording that exists of that first gig, that I am aware of anyway, but here’s a version…
A very special event at the HMV store in Argyle Street, Glasgow on February 2nd. Jim and Charlie will be signing copies of Walk Between Worlds. For those with an HMV Pure card, you had priority access to tickets. GUESS WHO GOT THEMSELVES AN HMV PURE CARD JUST PRIOR TO CHRISTMAS LAST YEAR?! *points thumbs…

Have you ever seen anything more beautiful? (Or wasted…) Is this what Hutch meant by “elegantly wasted”? And, yes, I only managed 120 screengrabs…NOT ALL OF THEM ARE JIM! (Okay…maybe 100 of them are) ???? *cradles self in ‘too much beauty’ painful foetal position ball* (it’s been a while…well…since the Turbett pictures landed anyway)
Nothing THAT rare, that’s for sure! And those acetates are FARKING expensive when they pop up on eBay. Yes! I have looked…but waaay out of my price range for ANY serious contention. Not sure I would ever have anything he’d want…but if I do…well…perhaps I’d part with it for…certain…”favours”….????? Dang! I don’t have anything THAT…
Oh, I shouldn’t be so bitchy and snarky…but when someone on SMO asked whether Mel Gaynor was still “on board”…my mind thought of Jim’s reply to someone several weeks back and…I quickly put this montage together.
I am now quite a regular listener to Billy Sloan’s show each week on BBC Radio Scotland. This week was a fascinating show, with him asking the big names of music, sport and politics what their favourite gig of all time was. At the 1 hour, 36 minute mark, you can hear Sir’s choice…won’t spoil…
A nice response to my latest piece…although I was a bit confused as to who he meant, initially… He clarified things with an edit… Thank you, Sir 🙂
Well, one would like to wish! The first line of TSATN reminded me of a discussion once had with Jim… “Take off those headphones and let this world pour into you”…
Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle!
Oh, I just HAD to have a play about. It keeps the eye in…
