May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
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…
