And so sang Jim Kerr et al last night.

Not to be outdone by Ed and Ieva in the "ageing rocker most likely to have a hip replacement" contest, Krista and I went to Verona (note to aspiring tourists: forget the balcony from Romeo and Juliet...it's a tourist trap) last night to see Simple Minds.

Ironically enough, we had similar seats to Ed and Ieva in that they were great, close to the stage and off to the side...albeit in different countries, arenas, etc.

So we danced, sang along and generally had a great time. To be honest though, the crowd reflected the times, i.e. no bouncing beach balls, no whiff of the good lord's herb, no nothing....in fact, they were handing out complimentary newspapers at the door!

So, as Someone, Somewhere, in Summertime once said, as they went down to the Waterfront to reflect on a New Gold Dream...time to go and read the Book of Brilliant Things.
