May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Sharing the things that make/made me most happy. This is how it started. I titled this “And Then It Continued…” but this is really how it started. I loved this “artwork” so much. And I couldn’t believe that he liked it as much as I did. For that I will be forever grateful. I wish…
Well…it’s all about Jim and Charlie these days, ain’t it? So…why not share this. In lieu of there being a full Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call 40th Anniversary post for Minds Music Monday today – let’s just have this one to compensate. The isolated guitar is haunting. And Jim’s voice… just… OMG. I literally melt…

Or feeling kind of purposeful. I don’t know. I honestly don’t know what the point of me is… But I know what the point of this man is. And he obviously knew what his purpose was meant to be. I honestly don’t think I will ever stop loving him.

I listened to this last night (see link at the end of post). Wow! OMG – the Swedish crowd at this place LOOOOVE them! They just love them! It’s on a par with listening to a Glasgow gig for audience reception. It’s a gig recorded from the crowd so the quality varies. Jim is not…
Well, not quite. Norwich anyway. The University of East Anglia, in fact. I found myself on the hunt for something for someone last night and…going down the usual “rabbit hole” one invariably ends up at. I was on Twitter looking for relevant info to what I was searching for (no luck!) but I happened upon…
I’ve been meaning to share this here. Someone posted it on the SMOG FB page and…well, look at the photo. Jesus, he’s such a flirt! God, I’d give anything! You beautiful man, Mr Kerr. I wish I didn’t adore you so much. I love the story behind the crane. I never even thought about it…
I wished those flats at Prospecthill Circus still existed. And that I had the talent to actually paint this on the side of a building rather than have it exist digitally and only imagine how it could look on a wall – painted directly on it. Imagine approaching Glasgow City Council to get this painted…
It’s the 18th of November, 1982 and Mel Gaynor is making his live debut for Simple Minds as they play to a raucous home crowd at Tiffany’s in the “Dear Green Place”. Mel’s an accomplished drummer, no question there! But he’s still learning the SM repertoire of songs. Of course he’s familiar enough with what’s…
