Visual Ode To A “Man-Bag”
priptona-weird: Visual “ode” to a man-bag. Vive la man-bag! I confess to posting this on the Simple Minds Official FB visitor wall. He replied. Now we know what’s in the bag! Lol (I’m assuming that’s what he’s telling me, anyway.)
Why I Love…Careful In Career
Jim’s voice, and his lyrics. They are deep (both voice AND lyrics), as per usual in these early years. His lyrics have a depth beyond his tender years at this point in the Simple Minds story. He so very quickly becomes such a stark, bold lyricist. The imagery he conveys is startling. God, can you…

You could do with a fucking jog.” “I’m sorry about that colourful language. My mother would be ashamed.” Fiesty Jim, in WCS. I know it shouldn’t but I just love…
Fantastic Mr Foxx Knows His Onions!
someonesomewhereinsummertime: «Empires and Dance. I loved Simple Minds from the first moment I heard them, because they were unique. Partially because of Jim Kerr, who is the best lyricist on the planet, as far as I’m concerned. He had a way with words, unlike anyone else. He’s more psychedelic than any Pink Floyd record. What…
Kerrsday Thursday – Barely There WCS
Strip-teasing Jim 😉 First…not much on show… Then a button… Then another… Finally, hanging on by just one button. WCS almost becomes NO SHIRT by the end 😉 Grrr!
