Fair enough, but doesn’t change the fact that I don’t like people who haven’t got a copy of Pleasantly Disturbed by @tismeleese.bsky.social on their shelves. Hate ‘em, really.

Here’s wishing you a happy and healthy new year, Tony!

As Simple Minds announce their biggest US tour for 40 years, it seems an ideal opportunity to mention my book, Pleasantly Disturbed, about a teenager obsessed with Simple Minds at their glorious stadium peak. Links in bio. Thanks! And, to quote the great man himself, "Let me see those hands!"
