Simple Minds, early 80′s

Brian: “Come on, look on the bright side - ELO are releasing their new album tomorrow. I can’t wait!”

Jim: “Really? F*cking Hell! I’m even more depressed now”

Charlie: “What are you looking so downcast for Derek?”

Derek: ‘Don’t understand why we don’t do more Beatles and Zeppelin covers instead of all this Empires and Dance nonsense. What do you reckon Mick?“

Mick: “Um…..I reckon I’m too good looking to be in this crappy band!

In response to the request for info re who took the pic and where it was taken?

I think it was taken backstage in Paris by Virginia Turbett during a European Tour opening for Peter Gabriel. 

We were either ignored or booed off stage every single gig throughout the 5 weeks. The exception being Brussels - where they surprisingly rather liked us! - Jim Kerr on Facebook, 2017
