May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Even to this day, I wish I was older. Although I am already what I would have considered in my youth as “well old.” On the verge of being exactly in my mid-50s, I sometimes lament at being in Gen X. I have always felt I kind of straddle two worlds, being born in 1970…
I keep getting caught by the nostalgia bug lately. At the moment I’m leaning into it. Last night it was quite the mixed bag of stuff. Firstly, I watched the latest episode of In Your Room – the monthly video chat that Th3 Minds have. This month I was very excited to see that they’d…
This was the kind of anecdote I had wished for in 2022 in Paris when I asked the question of Jim and Charlie for their early days tour memories of Australia. Of course, what I ended up getting from Jim was some address about why they hadn’t announced any tour dates for Oz yet. By…
Today is the anniversary of my first ever visit to Glasgow – six years ago. I had come up to take part in 15 to 1. A bucket list tick for something I had long wished to do – to be a contestant on a television quiz show. There was somebody who was HUGELY responsible…
I would have liked to have written more in relation to Jim’s post yesterday, but I had just written my waffling blurb about Space (or more accurately what the song Space means to me) for MMM and I didn’t have that much writing left in me. So I left it for today. I’m not sure…
But next week we’ll be back with Love Song in profile as the Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call 40th Anniversary celebration continues. In the meantime, I’d like to share a few earworms that are currently buzzing around my noggin. He was my love before I became “Kerrsed”. I honestly couldn’t remember the last time I…
Some videos, the book I discuss in one of them, as well as the talk of it being Kerrsday and my favourite photo of the most beautiful man on earth! (Yeah…I know. Whatever. I adore him. Fuck it. I don’t care anymore.) Also, on another note, I have just discovered that Bowie’s Ouvrez Le Chien…
I was listening to some stuff on Spotify last night. Started listening to things labelled “Neo-classical” on shuffle mode – just to help keep me calm as the storms stirred outside. Anything that particularly strikes a chord with me when I play random shuffle mode I just take a quick screengrab of so I can…
I have a very bad habit of living in the past. Something very good in the present will happen to me – of the times I allow myself to actually LIVE in the present – and then I smother it. Hold on to it with everything I have because I don’t want to lose that…
Such a wonderfully written piece by Sir today. I still have that envious feeling! Like I did when I read the Bowie biography I read years back. Through the hectic MainMan years…and, oh, to have been Coco Schwab! What an amazing life she’s had, being by his side. Of course, the bit that tugs at…
