May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Jim has decided to slick his hair back in this, making for an interesting barnet. It’s a curious choice to play live, esp. on tellybox. One can only assume they did PYAM on the show too? Pretty sure this is the very same show in which Jim pretends to whack Peter “f**king” Powell on the…

A Sunday evening gig. OH MY FLIPPING GOD – THEY WALK ON TO KANT KINO!!! Could have better sound quality…a better quality recording exists, by all accounts.

…the fan…or should that be the FANS? And then to FINALLY talk about it openly and STILL be accused of being cryptic? Poor, Jim. The undercurrent for anyone with an INKLING of savvy has been that for weeks….months now that it’s “all change” on the SM front. I don’t want to go over it all…

I’m not in the best place at the moment (just…super, super emotional at the mo, and making bad judgement calls) …and it revealed itself to me today (most) in missing out on the opportunity for double entendre/innuendo… Where I said “(I WISH I got it for my birthday)” sssooo SHOULD have been followed with “and…

And…he talks of KT, and I still need to sort out all my ticket stubs and the wonderful souvenir of KT’s plectrum caught on the first night in Dublin. I will never forget hearing It Took Me So Long To Get Here But Here I Am and how much it resonated with me and brought…
