May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
All things related to Mr Jim Kerr
I worked on two art pieces yesterday. The first one…I knew what I wanted from it, but it didn’t really come together. I’m not sure I like it. I love him on that Whistle Test appearance though ???? The other was going to be another attempt, but it quickly morphed into something else and took…
Continuing on a Swedish theme…his Kerrness, in a bath in a hotel writing lyrics for this in the summer of 1982, in Sweden. Nom Nom Nom
Before the day ends…there was this today. And I know it shouldn’t! It just shouldn’t…but…holy hell – it just means the whole world to me. Such a silly thing. He probably never gave it a second’s thought straight after….but for me? Well, you know. I love words and a word from him means everything. Everything.
The line from Iggy Pop’s Five Foot One could not be a more appropriate title because, right now, I DO wish “life could be Swedish magazines”. Well, newspapers might be more accurate.

This is the last place I am mentioning it, strangely enough. So, I will just copy the rest of my blurb from posting about it on Facebook… It might be a strange one to give away as it is so personalised… but there’s no point in me keeping this copy. I already have a matt…
It has been playing on my mind so much lately, it was in my dreams this morning. I haven’t dreamed of him for some time. The scenario was…backstage, at a soundcheck. Myself and a few other female fans. I’m unsure how I even got to be there given how the dream panned out. He was…
Yeah. Because some of us only miss you every second of every day and are made to feel like a sychotic lunatic for asking/enquiring/saying about it endlessly. So…I look in on FB for the first time in nearly a week, and it just compounds everything I have been feeling lately. I honestly do not know…
It seemed a repeat from some time back. One I seemed to miss at the time – or at least missed catching a copy of the interview for posting here. Anyway, here it is. Enjoy.
