May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Well, as it happened…I wouldn’t have had to “behave” too much…as I’d have got some safe ogling in from him being on the stage after all! Too bad I was skint to f***. Could hardly have justified it for ONE song (although I’m sure I would have enjoyed more than that). Oh well. I shouldn’t…
As you may know (you may not…but you soon will!), I rarely dream of Sir. The current statistic would be about 4 times a year. Lol. (Two dreams in one night! – The link might show at the bottom of the page if the metadata matches them up.) I have also, for the past 3…
Yes! Kerrsday Thursday is back! And today’s theme is Sir Kerr with unorthodox microphone holding. And to start us off, let’s have the Waterfront video… Off you go, Boy :-))
Just scored myself this. Thank you :-)) Sometimes it pays to wait…

New batch of fantastic gifs for the first Kerrsday Thursday. This is a clip from German TV “Formel Eins” of them performing (miming) Waterfront. I love this shirt Jim is wearing…the same one he wears in the Up On The Catwalk video. Happy Kerrsday Thursday…more to come!
Sparkle In The Rain era reviews in Smash Hits magazine through 1984. Waterfront achieved the high praise of “single of the fortnight”. Ooh!!

Sequence of photos of Simple Minds during Sparkle In The Rain promotional touring, late ‘83/early ’84. It was a cold old day! They’re all pretty rugged up – except for Mick, he’s used to those Barra gales :-)) The first photo is another of my faves of Jim. That tousled hair is gorgeous!
