May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Things were winding up in several ways. I seemed to have had my run with the Minds art…well, at least Jim’s attention with it. Such a mercurial man. I think I quickly bored him. Maybe I got a little too heavily invested? I’m sure I am very guilty of that. It was the most amazing…
(Images are of various bits of interactivity on the SM Facebook page. Click the images to enlarge and view.) February started out OK, from memory. The weather was still mild at times. Of course there were some hot days through January and into the early part of Feb, but there were good spells of relief…
Simple Minds HQ/Jim is/are sharing the band members’ favourite (Christmas) party tunes…so I’ll join in with some of my own personal choices. This is definitely one that gets me going…but there are so many Motown tunes that do. Love Motown!
Oh, I could reach into the Internet and kiss him! (Yuck! Says Sir! Lol.) It really is just…amazing when he responds. He doesn’t have to. He could tell me to bugger off. He could ignore me outright…but he rarely does. And of course he replies with aspects I did not consider (the timing of the…

Yes…I’m sure it was. But…strange Sir (assuming it was Jim that posted it) should fall upon this topic after my little talk about his performing style sharing those Virginia Turbett pictures earlier. German stats were up today as well. Oh, if you snoop, Sir, I shall have to be deemed to be less “fawning”. (This…
Just touching upon January and sharing Jim’s review of Blackstar reminded me to share this.

Noel had chosen a Bowie track to play (well, not actually a Bowie track, per se, but a…
The year started well. I was in Australia. I was with my mum. The weather was unseasonably cool. And then I created a little piece of fan art that blew my socks off! I had been doing these little pieces of “art”, just little highlights to Simple Minds song lyrics that particularly struck a chord…
As promised, the next few days will see me share some Virginia Turbett favourites. Not all of them wil be of SM or Jim, but today’s two are. I’m sharing these ones today because, well obviously I have seen these images of Jim several times, but I had never seen them accredited to Virginia until…
It’s absolutely no secret Virginia Turbett is just about my favourite photographer, ever. And I said yesterday from the pic of Jim I’d not seen before unearthed from the whole Smash Hits Readers Poll thing, I want every single photo she’s ever taken of him. But, she has also taken many other gems, of which…
Now I know I am just one of many thousands of Simple Minds fans. And I know my place. I have been fortunate enough to be welcomed into the fold, not just by many of the fans, but by Jim himself on Facebook. The interactivty I have experienced has been amazing. Initially…I just wanted to…
