May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
They’re in rehearsals this week. The OH and I just talking over what we believe to be the usual scenario – Jim turns up to rehearsals on the final day. “How are we doing?” asks Jim. “WE’RE doing great”, says Charlie. Then my dream wish kicks in…”Oh, by the way, we’ve added Boys From Brazil…
I want to ask Jim a question. I haven’t really had a question to ask him for ages. I used to be asking him things all the time – over exuberant with enthusiasm, wanting to learn, soak up and absorb all things SM as much as possible. And if I had a question, well who…
I have been working hard to try and get back to GOOD art. Get used to the changes of my main art app that I hadn’t been able to use for several weeks. The combination of just…losing my “muse” and the overhaul of my main art app just had me artistically floundering! Other things too….
Trying to work on getting my mojo/muse back. I just keep sending Jim into space at the moment. I’m guessing there’s a subconscious subtext there. Distance. Isolation. Feeling cut off. Set adrift. May have to start painting again. Maybe it’ll lead to more expression. Painting used to depress me and take me too far into…

Been putting up some of my Simple Minds shrine this evening. It’s slowly taking shape. Much more to go but I am happy with how it is looking so far… The halcyon days…
Yesterday saw the second anniversary of the release of Walk Between Worlds. Of course it was the day that Jim and Charlie appeared at the HMV in Argyle Street for an album signing. I was so, sooo nervous! Lol. Silly, really, as I had met them both before already, but the more it goes on…
A new release by Hanging Around Books sees images taken in 1978 by Laurie Evans feature in the book. I feel ssooo bad as I made the horrendous assumption that Laurie is a man! My apologies, Laurie. I’ve been waiting a while on this one as I had contacted Laurie some time back from seeing…

My first gig of 2020 may already be the gig of the year! I arrived in the West End around 4.30pm and had a bite to eat at Mario’s Cafe on the Byers Road. After the meal I took a meander down to the Kelvingrove thinking it might be open for the concert goers to…

The last thing I’ll ever post to the wall. Might as well have kept my arse blocked if I can’t even put the odd jovial thing on the wall without it being deleted. Anyone would think I am dissing the band and telling them they’re shit and they should retire and their songs are shit…
