May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
These arrived from Virginia this morning. Jim smiling was just the sunshine I needed. I’ve had two hours sleep and I’m just about to fall behind with my coursework in spite of all the study I’ve been doing (oops, uni talk! That’s what the other blog is for, Prip!) – an afternoon siesta beckons. In…

It seems as if more often than no that the 17th January (in my experience) here in Glesga seems to be a lovely sunny day. Always cold, mind! But invariably sunny. What it was like in 1978, I cannot tell you. No doubt equally as cold as it is today. A newly formed band of…

And even though he trots out the same stuff in almost EVERY interview, he can still make me giggle – the bitch! Lol Anyway, I spotted Garry Bushell posting about this on Instragram so I thought I’d give it a quick read. The one about him getting his dance moves was a new one on…
Yesterday Jim posted about it being 50 years of concert-going for him. A vast swathe of those concerts he’s experienced from the other side of the auditoria as being frontman of one of the world’s best bands (don’t tell him I said that – don’t want him getting a big head now! Lol. Too late!). …

That sentence being, “Well, I might make it a poster on my studio wall also!”. I can’t tell you what that sentence did to me! Just waking up at my mum’s house and seeing the post and the way my heart pounded away. Silly really. It had been a long time since something had made…

Ah, well…look who’s playing with my heart strings AGAIN! The cheek of him! It took just ONE like. One like. He disnae “like” me today though. Lol. Dare he like me loosely mentioning “cum” – dare we misconstrue things or have ANY kind of fun with the mildest of innuendo? Stop making me pine for…
After last week’s stunning Kerrsday photos taken by Horst Waschinski in Cologne in March 1982 – here is another set of photos from 1982. These are from 3 September, 1982 in Helsinki. It’s officially the first gig of the LONG New Gold Dream tour that spans from autumn 1982 through to the summer of 1983….
I don’t feel as though I have been writing very much lately although I now seemingly am trying to have content running for TWO blogs and I write essays for uni. It just somehow feels not very much. I used to do other writing as well and that has stopped because it feels unwanted? Unappreciated?…
The YouTube ‘rabbit hole’ had me stumble upon this one. I chose a list of ‘unplayed’ Simple Minds YT videos. Down the list, this appeared. It was the wording on the ident of the video that initially caught my eye, made me curious and had me listen to it. “Darkness has never been so bright”…

No dreams of Jim this year. Then that has been the case for a few years now. I used to look forward to those beautiful Christmas dreams – like I’d get my very own Solstice Kiss. About the only chance I’d get for one, that’s for sure! Lol. Anyhooooo – had I been able to…
