ARE YOU READY??!
I don’t think you are. I wasn’t! Brace yourselves, people, for some of the most beautiful photos of Jim Kerr (Laird Dash Fandango) you’ll ever wish to see. READY? Are you? But, are you though?! OK…here goes!

I love your blog! So I’m not the only one with an obsession with Jim Kerr? I think he was cute in the 80s, and he’s adorable now…
Thanks! Same here…
catsbrittany: Hahahhaha I almost forgot about this! (Kind of a pun, considering what song she’s singing xD) My mom was umm… Quite intoxicated and she lost her voice sort of badly for like a week. She’s singing “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” by Simple Minds (aka the song on The Breakfast Club if you’re clueless)…
Sometimes (OK, a LOT of the time) I look at Jim Kerr and I think “how/why are you just called ‘Jim’?” It’s so ordinary!! He should have stuck with Pripton Weird…or have at least moved on to something wonderfully grandiose…like…IDK…Laird Dash Fandango or something! Lol. Then again…Brian Eno’s full name is – Brian Peter George…
And, finally – this multi-layered beauty. Jim, making some, frankly, quite suggestive and worrying hand gesture: Derek doing his signature “bass bounce” move, and Charlie doing his swivel-feet-soft-guitar-bounce, whilst simultaneously having a mime to the lyrics. IT’S ALL GOING ON!
Jim’s gestures – you gotta love ‘em! Lol
Jim, pre & post short interview on French/Belgian TV before Simple Minds perform Up On The Catwalk. I love all his nervous twitching/mannerisms. The middle one with the swaying and foot stamping is SSOOO freaking CUTE! I could squeeze him! Lol. He is SO PENT UP! Poor baby.
Simple Minds performing (well, lip syncing to) New Gold Dream on Italian music program “Disco Ring” (yeah, I know!) in 1982. The footage is in crap condition…oh but Jim is beautiful. That same suit he’s wearing on The Tube and topless underneath the jacket. Thata bhoy! 😉
Jim, with son James (far right), at Villa Angela, Taormina, Sicily.
JIM KERR “Warloh Art” Andy Warhol definitely should have done this 🙂
