May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Oh, but I am still missing the “cherry on top” – the reply comments. I miss that element. It feels like a positive reinforcement when it happens. When it stops or doesn’t happen for a while I tend to think “Oh, he’s as sick of me as everyone else is! Lol.” And then I tend…
UPDATE: I have just over two weeks to go until race day and have raised just over £200 so far. If I can get to £250 by race day, I will be SO, SO happy! If you haven’t donated yet, please consider it. Don’t forget that all £10+ that get the money raised to the…

It’s that … cold war Europe sensibility and style it has. Actually, it’s more post-war (The Great War), 1930’s, really. It’s Christopher Isherwood Berlin. Not flappers and sharp-suited men…later…early 1930s….now more the time of “austerity” (and how relevant does it make this song now?!), mass unemployment – post Wall Street Crash and the Hoover Dam…
Two proposals thrown at Jim this evening. One quite light-hearted…just for fun, because it was lovely putting the playlists together…and it could make for a tour with a really different setlist.

It’s taken me a few days to get around to listen to this. I like it. It’s very expertly done. But…I kept waiting for my fix of the chorus to arrive. At least just one time! And…the best part of Mick’s synths are taken away as a consequence, because they lay behind Jim’s vocal in…
I have been sleeping-in lately. Demanding dreams from my subconscious. Every night before I fall asleep, I pray that I’ll dream. Good dreams. Dreams that once awake and I have even just a fraction of lucidity of the dream, that it’ll turn to fruition. This morning I had dreams. In the first I was with…
Last year when I participated in Race For Life for Cancer Research UK – I raised a meagre £68. I had a target of £150. I didn’t even make it to half my target. The only thing that kept me incentivised was…I would be doing something active for my own personal health. How could I…

Aaaww. I was reminded of this little bit of shrine work from years back just a while ago. This could apply to his dad too. Well…probably to all Kerrs, no doubt. I posted it on the wall at the time. It didn’t originally have any words at all. It’s just I always thought I made…
Sir…Jim. Ever hopeful. May I ask again? In case it escaped your attention. Monosyllabic response will suffice. Or it can be more elaborate if you so wish. Need a reply. Do it now. Enlighten me… “Falling here from grace.”
