May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
A song you like from the 70s. I have such a growing appreciation for VERY early Simple Minds stuff. Some so early, well, it was actually still Johnny And The Self Abusers material. And – HUGE INTAKE OF BREATH – Jim didn’t even write the lyrics for this! It was written by John Milarkey. I…
Having listened to the Kyle Meredith interview with Jim…I need to repost this. Goddamn you WordPress! Why do you only allow a single reblog of a post?! Because I already reblogged this lalte last year, I can’t reblogged it again to show up in that way… So here is a link to my thoughts on…

A song you like with a colour in the title. My fave live version of this song. Grrrr, Jim!
I saw this a few days ago on Facebook and thought it would be fun to do – esp. if I tried to stick to the theme of Simple Minds. I was just going to keep it on FB but now FB has had a meltdown this evening, so I’ll shift it here and post…
