May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
All things related to Mr Jim Kerr
All good things must come to an end, as they say. Oh, but sometimes, don’t you just WISH they wouldn’t? Jim’s fourth and final (for now, perhaps?) show for Absolute Radio aired on what is Sunday morning for us here Down Under. He threw me a slight curveball by playing Van Morrison’s Gloria as his…
Well, that is how it felt. This one gesture felt like an act of love. Perhaps too strongly put as I would dare not think he loves me, but certainly an act of kindness. Possibly one of the most profound acts of kindness lavished on me. By anyone. I had had an APPALLING day….
I’ve been so floored by the last few days, I just realised that there is now yet ANOTHER song off New Gold Dream given extra special meaning to me! Firstly, it was NGD itself for Jim’s awesome reply to my bit about my fave itty bitty bit of the song (which I now believe to…

Well, before this week’s show even started, I was theorising what he’d open it with. I thought, “Bowie week one, Velvet Underground week two. This week it HAS to be Roxy?” Lo and behold! But I was having Internet trouble right up til the final minutes before the show started, so couldn’t put my prediction…
This still gives me a giggle a few days later. I never dared respond to it…and I was SSOO hoping Jim would. Just something tongue-in-cheek like “her room at Villa Angela is booked. She’s paying, of course. I’m not MADE of money!”, or similar. Lol And, Greg…in my ETERNAL DAMN DREAMS we would “get a…
