Thanks for this quote, Justin, and I would like to put in my two cents.....*plunk* one cent: Jimmy didn't say he didn't want to do the 3rd, he said he wanted to do it, but he also said that the time was not right for it. People use a concept of illness as an excuse because maybe one of the Jims was ill enough that the other Jim couldn't pull it off without him, or maybe because of this set of circumstances that we have which is that wild thing about the politics (and some politics is not really politics but crime masquerading as politics, as Ryan I'm sure could appreciate in the Joker's line, "Who do you trust?" and some crimes use politics to be carried out, and on and on or are permitted by political powers, the permutations are astounding.) So you have to understand what I bring to the table is ooodles of insights into some of the underlying problems, separately of course from what Big Jim has possibly experienced and of course I wish him the best of health at all times. *Eeerp time expired, put in another penny and try again* *plunk* putting in the other cent: Bombastic and theatrical is what Meat is about? That writer is confused. Meat is theatrical but the 3rd proves he does not exist on the bombastic. Bombastic, is Jim's flair. Not Meat's. I know, I know, the BFG album wasn't as "Bombastic" as BOOH, but Jim while wanting to make it better in one particular way, made it more tame in the other. But all of Jim's works, and one could look to Pandora's Box for this, are bombastic. I am entirely proud of him for his works btw. Out of pennies :) | |
