May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Mornings between 7.30 (roughly the time I get out of bed most mornings. Sometimes earlier, sometimes later…like this morning) and about 9.45 are mine. In terms of setting myself up for a study day … well … any day, really. I’ll take a glance around social media, see what’s what. Check out if Jim has…
More of Jim talking, and …. well, Bono is still waffling on. But there’s more of Jim, and that’s the best thing about this… Enjoy!
Geez, I loved them then. What a cracking version of Gloria! And to hear A Celebration being done live is fab. That line in Rejoice “I can’t change the world, but I can change the world in me” resonated so much with me.They were so flipping fab then. Honestly. Just watching this 9 minutes of…
I was pretty much a U2 fan from the get go. My brother, Quince, is only a few weeks younger than Bono…so U2’s debut release was as about as contemporary as it could get for him! I was half the age, only just coming up to my 10th birthday, but the album spoke volumes to…

This one has always been a favourite. Played it just as much, if not more than, the A-Side of Pride (In The Name Of Love).
Because I’m always thinking “tick tock” as I count these days down…this song popped into my head this morning. I can’t tell you how jealous of that girl I was. Lol. He was already married to Ali FFS! I was 12/13 years old! Lol. It wasn’t gonna happen…
I was tagged by thebizarremooneyeball 6 albums I’ve been playing a lot lately. Well, if I was REALLY truthful, it would ALL be Simple Minds albums! “A lot” is a relative term…but these are the albums I’ve played most recently…and some frequently. Moving clockwise, from top right: 1. Diamond Dogs by David Bowie One of…
