May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Oh, it is so lovely to have him around posting more often. I know I have been going on about it since before Christmas last year…but it is just so lovely when he interacts with us. I love it. It will always be the special icing on the cake of being a Simple Minds fan….
I tell you what – I wish THAT was the bloody prize! To be allowed to design the next shirt! OMG…that would be AMAZING! And…in my dreams! Seriously. Nothing would make me happier! Anyway, it’s not what this is…but you can win a new SM shirt, so…go for it! Be quick!
Every time I see a post to the SMO visitor wall (or comments left on a post) expressing wishes for gigs, my heart breaks. I can’t like these posts or comments. I understand people are missing the band…and Jim…I do too. But…Jim’s post last week. Perhaps it just hasn’t sunken in with some people? I…
I was looking through the latest edition of Classic Rock magazine, saw this little interview with Steve Hillage and my eyes were drawn to the last paragraph. Wasn’t expecting him to be name-checking Jim. Very nice.
I try to limit the personal content on here. I try to keep it much more about Simple Minds, music in general, my art and my own musical journey. But this…this just made me laugh so much and just…what a woman she is! No…not the Queen or Kate (though…you know…hmmm), but the tit-grab offender. That’s…

I’ve posted this on SMO…but in case he misses it (as if he’s going to see it here! Pffft!) ***I’m currently playing catch up listening to last night’s Billy Sloan Show on BBC Radio Scotland and he just played 70 Cities As Love Brings The Fall. And, seeing as I am meeting tight lips and…
Cherisse in rehearsals for Kelly Jones tour Sir talks writing songs and Govanhill library “No news is good news” the old saying goes. In that case, Simple Minds HQ is positively drowning in good news! Lol Just the one post this week from The Mister after last Sunday’s “I’ve woken up thinking about gigging” exciting…
Well, it has been quieter than ever on the SM front this week. Having said that, Mr Kerr has increased his interactivity on FB ten fold this week! Well, it feels it anyway. And it’s very welcome. His posts are always so…I dunno…enlightening. I suppose that is the optimum word. He can post some funny…
Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of Street Fighting Years…and I think I just ended up exhausting myself with having interviews for Life In A Day to try with more. I couldn’t bring myself to ask Bruce for more time. As it was he started to worry I wanted to go though every…
