May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I need to address this today. Bear with me. Okay, so a SM fan took it upon themselves to post to SMOG about what I had written here in response to Jim’s reply to me on my comment over his Peter Gabriel post. I think this person managed to do exactly the same thing as…

It’s been seven years. Seven years since I became that rabid “obsessive”. Seven years since the world of Simple Minds truly opened up to me. I was reminded of the fact of how…embedded in this new-found “obsession” I was by a post that appeared in my FB “memories” a couple of days back. The memory…
It’s just the same old crap over and over. Are the band the same without Mick, Derek, Mel? Are they even Simple Minds with only Jim and Charlie left? They’re a mockery now. Play Butlins. They’re not Simple Minds any more. YA DA FUCKING YA! Is it any wonder I am steering clear of the…

Looking in from the outer, I see some tentative improvement on “The Group”. At least a few more memories are filtering through and the admins at SMOG (well, more accurately, the admins at SMO via SMOG…same admins? Dunno) at least asked for some participation and contributions from fans yesterday. It may have legs yet. I…
