May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Well…last Christmas it was the dream of being hugged by Jim on the Renfrew ferry in 1983 that became manifest and real at Bridlington in May. So…what do I possibly ask Santa for THIS year? More of the same? Geez, I wouldn’t say no! Perhaps MUCH more of the same? As in…more time with him…?…

I was trying to find this interview yesterday…just, because it had been quite a while since I viewed it, and it rarely comes up. Oh…but…wow…how timely the subject matter with which The Boy speaks! Hmmmm. This one would have the dissenters raving, methinks…. That end bit? Oh, you black-hearted boy. Lol. Fuck that “happily ever…

I really, REALLY want to do this! And…oh, how I wish I could. This shirt is a ONE-OFF for a fan that approached me and asked if I could design a shirt with this imagery. I KNOW it is copyright…but it is ONE SHIRT for ONE PERSON only! I have NOT sold it for profit!…
Seen in a monthly food magazine as a Christmas present suggestion. Well, I just *had* to, right? Lol (for Jim…not me)

Italian dates for the tour finally announced today. A little gap in dates between July 5th and 10th…is he actually gonna have a few days off for his birthday? Lol. He’s allowed. It’s not even just Italian fans excited by these. Well…I either have to rob a bank, or win me some money to even…
BOOM! Jim’s reply to a self-proclaimed “biggest fan”… Bloody wish I had seem it last night. Priceless! On a more serious note…really, as Jim put more eloquently…get on board, or fuck off!

Just over 12 months from their previous appearance on The Tube, Simple Minds return. It’s not the best quality footage…but it expresses the dynamism of the band. My favourite part is when Jim’s mic is obviously starting to give him problems. Instead of stopping proceedings like a lot of other performers would, he just throws…

Might as well get it over with. It really *is* “rob a bank” time. Or…time to sit some gigs out ???? Not sure my heart will be able to take it either way… Swindon – close to a friend. Taunton – also possible…near-ish same said friend. Leeds, twice! Close to a friend – and what…
