May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Some new arrivals for this Kerrsday. The first three are all promo photos taken of Jim inside the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm. The black and white photo has a newspaper headline attached to it on the back that translates in English as saying, “Jim Kerr in Simple Minds visited Stockholm Stadium on Saturday, where the…
Banter, Dali, Mr Shitsex and wrong trains. And…Guernica is, of course, Picasso. Thus revealing how little I actually know about art. Lol Today’s “steppage” included. Nearly 10km today ??
“In the first part of this season, James Dean Bradfield looks at the influence of Chilean musician and revolutionary singer Victor Jara on modern Music.” JDB talks to Charlie during the podcast. Of interest to many of us SM fans, no doubt. Link to the podcast below.

Anyway….I have…
OMG! Those clips on the DVD were GOLD DUST! There’s a clip from 1989 from Good Morning Australia (seemingly) – Basia Bonkowski is interviewing Jim and well…just watch the clip below. Lol (It’s the ears, right?) The observant amongst you MAY see something that actually shouldn’t be there. I couldn’t help myself. *smiles sheepishly*
