May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Oh, where do I start?! The nerves! Anyone would think I was going to be performing WITH them, I am so tangled up in knots. I feel on the verge of gagging, constantly. I wish I could retain this feeling every time I am about to say something stupid or innapropriate to him. It is…
And so, here we are, with just two days to go until Glasgow…I turn into a bundle of nerves and jelly. I reflect upon ALL my stupid behaviour and feel myself being in his presence and how unable to live with myself I will be. For the person I am online is not really the…
I still can’t fathom it. The year started out a bit odd…but it was okay. And then the lovely, lovely Wall Of Love post happened, and it was beautiful. I felt that lovely…love…I felt from him last year. I was on a cloud! As usual, it sent me off firing questions and posting to the…
I really don’t know what’s going on with Jim, I don’t. How could I ever? I don’t know him the slightest bit, personally. But he certainly knows enough about me…and I felt he used it as ammunition TWICE, in recent replies to me. Today he brought up poor Annick’s post to the visitor wall –…
He’ll KILL ME for the post title! Lol Caption: Jim says “Where’s ma hair gahn?” Charlie says “Aye, Jim. It’s flown away up there!”
Of course I have dreamed of meeting Jim even before he shared the link to John Grant’s Marz to me on St Patrick’s Day last year, but that heightened the notion. Because…he was giving me so much attention last year, I saw it as a personal thing…and read a message in the lyrics that are…
I missed mentioning it….and then I was too busy WATCHING it to post about it! Just a short while ago, Cherisse Osei via her Instagram account streamed live and we were treated to roughly the first 45 mins of the Simple Minds set from Nantes. The stream cut off midway through Andy Warhol (which I…
Sir does like to give me a kick up the bum with things sometimes…by accident, of course. He’s not specifically targeting me (it’s not as if we’re friends or anything…as much as I’d love to fantasise, dream, pretend and delude myself)…but I really have been wanting to catch up with this documentary for some time….
A fan shared these lyric sheets from the Union Chapel gig on the GMF fan page on Facebook after the show last week. Jim linked to this song when I said back last year (after he shared the Pale Green Ghosts vid for St Patrick’s Day) that I “need to get me some John Grant”….
This morning Sir is in praise of Vince Barker’s stellar work with Simple Minds. I must admit to being a little bewildered to see his pictures of them come through after the first few Acoustic shows, as I assumed with him being (what I thought was primarily) Andy’s keyboard tech, we wouldn’t see him…and consequently…
