Tummy Side Down…
Every time I get a “new” previously unseen pic of Jim, I always gotta have a play around. This one is no exception…

The Impossible Dream – Melody Maker – September 19th, 1981
It’s an odd piece, this one. Almost like how Jim described the opening line to Barrowland Star to me a couple of weeks back. It’s about everything and nothing…all at once. And this is the second time I’ve read about him being sick (not quite) on stage. But the first time coming directly from him….

It’s A Long Old Journey…
Good morning everyone, and welcome to a new edition of… I WANT TO BE JAINE! Lol
Jim And Charlie On Jonesy’s Jukebox On 955KLOS
Jonesy always goes off on tangents. “So, Richard Jobson…how’s he doing?” It’s like…”you’re Scottish. He’s Scottish”. Lol Jim describing Roger Daltry as looking like a “condom full of walnuts” when he walked out on stage. Lol. I read an interview with Daltry recently…he said he doesn’t even work out! It’s just how his body is!…

Rejuvenation 2001-2014 Vinyl Box Set – Simple Minds
Man! Absolute PISH it isn’t starting from Our Secrets Are The Same. Virgin – you are asshats! Come on!! You could have made some deal with Chrysalis, Sanctuary and Caroline Int. So instead it starts with Neon Lights…meh…okay. I still remain to be won over by Cry. I dunno why…I looooove Spaceface. And I like…

Reno Review And Pics By Nick McCabe
A great review – even if there is a little bit of misinformation (yes, I’m being pernickety AGAIN, Jim – but if a job’s worth doing…). I did love the bit about Jim’s splits and lunges and if reviewer Nick was to try it himself, he’d have to call 911 in the end! Lol Also…can’t…
Minds Music Monday – Street Hassle
Their best ever “cover”? I put it in quotation marks, for, speaking about it at the time Jim was reticent to call it a cover…more a reinterpreting. Whatever you decide to call it, it was wonderfully done. I used to watch the live clip from Roskilde a lot. I haven’t for a while…and instead playing…
All You’ve Got To Do Is…
Just…wow! I could see it play out, just the way he described it. The street scene of him avoiding his grandfather and the notion of yet another dressing down. I could see this little man, tough as nails looking…but also looking quite frail and vulnerable at the same time (well, Jim’s only clue on how…
The Beat Of Time?
I suddenly found myself intrigued by the picture Jim chose to use for his post about age. The problem was, how was I going to search for it? How did he find it? How did he search for it? So I put in “butterfly watch age” and there it was in amongst the image search…
