May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Wow! Just wow! I picked this clipping up for £2 off eBay over the weekend. Holy shit! Jim Kerr…you are just fucking divine…inspiration! You have such power in your words – WITH your words. A wordsmith. A weaver. A dreamer. A prophet. A masterpiece. A new kind of glory. Divinity! (Click the images for full…

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.
“The NME hardly ever gave us any column inches anyway, and when they did they’d slag us off.” Bullshit, Jim! Lol This has GOT to be one of the best interviews in some time. I’ve heard most of the stuff before…but it’s great to read it over again. And I can hear Jim in my…
I’ve done two previous posts I have labelled “icon”. One highlighting a piece of art I did incorporating Sir, and the other, once trying to capture this moment. I love the way the sunlight filters through the break in the curtains and shines upon the pic. And to think I told this man he isn’t…

Just from a little piece on tour dates inside the NME. The pic was bigger than the bit about the dates, to be honest. I like the pic, so wanted to share. Nice bit of fetish action…
As part of the clippings I received from Belgium today, I got the full NME article this photo was part of. I had previously only had a copy someone had posted on an eBay listing. I’ll just share this pic from it for now, but will scan the full article with the A3 scanner tomorrow….
Not just me then? Still, it was 36 years ago. It seems a very highly personal thing he shared for the time…well, at ANY time.
FINALLY got an A3 scanner so now I could share the article in all its glory! I hope I scanned it in an optimal reading condition. Please let me know otherwise.
