==Early life and Simple Minds work==
Born in Toryglen, Glasgow with Irish ancestry, 〔http://www.mcapozzolijr.com/simpleminds.html〕 Kerr attended Holyrood R.C. Secondary School there. In 1977, he was one of the founding members of the 6-piece punk rock band Johnny and the Self Abusers. Calling himself Pripton Weird, he played keyboards and shared vocals with John Milarky. Allan McNeill was also involved with the band, and went on to be the manager of the Pop band Hue and Cry. The band lasted 8 months, during which time Kerr emerged as one of the main songwriters. In November 1977 they changed their name to Simple Minds, quickly reduced to 4 members, then increased to 5, then 6, then back to 5 before a period of stability ensued.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dream Giver Redux | welcome )〕
