May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
OMG! It is SUCH a drug! And I am such an addict! I know how stupid and pathetic it sounds but…perhaps it is all just link to all the good things I’ve felt in my life these past few years? It’s sad! But, like tonight. I see him post and…I feel a high. “He’s posted!…

A surprising Simple Minds Top 5, I’d say but probably not from an American fan stand point. And nothing really discussed post 1986 which, well…given the broader subject of this YouTuber’s channel is 1980s music, it makes sense. But…SM did have the high selling Live In The City Of Lights and Street Fighting Years released…
Something for Kerrsday. Sexiest Dick Whittington there (n)ever was! And I double checked with her – Virginia is adamant she didn’t notice his bum in the mirror when she took the photo. Lol
Not exactly sure of the date. It just came to me as a clipping. I got it because of that Shelia Rock photo of Jim. God, that is such a wonderful photoshoot. There are some beautiful images of Jim in that white outfit – the jaiket and the “jodpurs” as he called them once. I…

Today Billy Sloan on his show page for BBC Radio Scotland was asking which gig that you’ve been to in the past would you want to go back and experience again. Not sure I would want to go to any specific ones, really. Probably just any Simple Minds one. But…oh, the chance to see them…
Not bad, huh? (see below) It took a little while to get into it but as soon as I had the lesson with Cherisse, it lit the touch paper and got me hungry again. She has me learning new stuff and at first it seems like I’ll just never get it. I try the beat…
I almost forgot my fan anniversary! Six years today. (Well, technically not today. It could be. All I know is it was sometime around mid to late July but because I don’t know the exact date, I highjacked Jim’s birthday.)
Jim’s post yesterday. It had me thinking – yes, a photo of Charlie on violin is pretty rare. Certainly not many exist from the period but during 5×5 Live and the later “Hits+” tour, he played the violin again. So for me, the even RARER photo of Charlie with a musical instrument is him on…
I wanted to choose Space today because – I always wish to see Jim in my dreams. I spent the past few years before going to sleep, making that wish… “Please! When I go to sleep PLEASE let me dream about him. If I can’t get to be with him and spend time with him…
