May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Oh, it’s not my place to leave a comment. But I want to. Perhaps he didn’t get the message from whomever you asked? They forgot to ask him…or it slipped his mind once he was out on that stage? I’m sure if he was aware of the circumstances, he would have done it. Having been…
Oh, I never knew Simple Minds had NEVER played Mexico. Oh, the fans will be in RAPTURES! Oh, I am ecstatic for them! (The fans.) And only last night watching Waldemar Januszczak detouring to Mexico City to show us the Philip Guston murals (as well as Diego Rivera’s STUNNING pieces at the Ministry of Education…

I had never read (or even SEEN) this interview before. I’m sure he must have shared it on SMO at the time…but I was so early into my mega fandom, I no doubt overlooked it. Too busy absorbing the music and many other things about the Simple Minds world. Watching tons of early footage…as much…
