May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I’m not sure I’ve ever come across a man quite as contradictory as Jim Kerr. Lol. He really is someone who seems to be both eager and willing to embrace change and move forward, yet paradoxically seems rigid in his ways and viewpoints and totally inflexible. A case in point is yet another change to…
I don’t know. I didn’t talk as much about the “strange relationship” as I wanted to. (But I still talked a fuckload!) It was an odd title. I know he chose it for the Prince song but…I kind of missed the connection between the choice of Prince song and the subject of the taxi driver….

Kinda thinking of it…I must admit. Have done since it was announced…deemed it “pie in the sky” but now have it in mind again. LOOK AT THIS PLACE! And…not just the drawcard of Minds…but Depeche Mode AND The Stranglers too! That setting, though…(the venue is to the bottom right of the foreground…by the marina.
