May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Watching the video for Jean Genie on the Rage Bowie special/tribute I just suddenly thought… maybe if Simple Minds had have chosen a different part of the song for their name, they could have been “Dead Hair For Underwear”. Lol. From Johnny And The Self Abusers to Dead Hair For Underwear. That would have been…

Bed calls. So, I will end Kerrsday Thursday, not with Jim…but with David. And not wearing a belt…but singing a “belter” and one of my favourite covers of his. Written by Jacques Brel. I don’t want the song to feel maudlin – even though it *is* about death. It’s a dedication to David, for all…
Not much time left for Kerrsday Thursday in Oz (well,not for most of the East coast anyway)…but we might let overrun just a little. Anyway, some last minute belt action gifs for us to enjoy. Jim Kerr – you sexy, sexy boy!
Very rare for the modern Jim to reveal so much flesh! Lol. He has his arms on show! Pretty much unheard of these days! Long shirts and jackets always seem to be the order of the day. Maybe if he continues on his health kick, continues slimming down (he was looking mighty fine during those…

“Hmmm. Does this belt suit me?” – Jim ponders.
Happy Kerrsday Thursday everyone! This week’s theme is…belts! Circumstances being as they are this week, the time I would usually have to compile my list of pics, gifs, etc somewhat eluded me.

Lyric of the day Song: Sons And Fascination Album: Sons And Fascination Year of release: 1981 Words: Jim Kerr No lyric seemed appropriate yesterday. But today is another day, and these lines do. For David xx
Jim being interviewed at the Mandela 90th Birthday concert, aka 46664. Jim, recounting how he’d been privileged to meet Mandela on several occasions and that this time every act on the bill was getting a chance of a photo op with Mr Mandela. Jim says “He still has a spark in his eyes.” The interviewer retorts,…
Charlie’s face, reaction and smile are brilliant. Footage is from a documentary called the “Biggest Band Breakups and Makeups”. The presenter of the doc, Mark Radcliffe, had just mentioned an “illness” afflicting certain frontmen in music called “Lead Singer Syndrome”. JK: Yeah, I think I got an A+ in “Lead singer syndrome”. It was my job! Charlie’s reaction does…
I know it’s not Kerrsday Thursday (so I will add some Charlie too – as he is the master of it!)…but today we need smiles. This is one of my faves. Simple Minds on American Bandstand and Jim showing off his flirty techniques. Lol. The conversation between him and Dick Clark is so cute… Jim…
