Fabulous Memories From 1980
A fabulous post by Conte Fly about SM’s first tour of Italy supporting Peter Gabriel. It links to Facebook. I can’t get the usual embed to work, so you’ll have to click the link below to view the post. I also noticed in the pictures posted that Derek is on Jim’s right instead of Charlie….
Random Musings And Tattooings…
Strange goings on on the old SMO visitor wall. It’s giving me a complex! Now, I don’t know if I am continually pissing him off, or there’s a rather zealous admin at work, or Facebook is glitching the fup out or what? But it started the day after Valentine’s Day. I asked Jim about clarification…

Because It Can Be Cathartic To Share
