theres a thread about how old mmj are. but how old is the typical mmj listener.
they transcend any specific age group--believe me
ripe old age of 139. im the finest of wines.
i'm 15 and i think they're cool.
my morning jacket keeps me oh so warm on these crisp siberian mornings.
sixteen says i.
I'm 12 at heart.
i'm feeling 64 today
Quotei'm feeling 64 today
when i get older, losin my hair
many years from now
will you still be sendin me a valentine?
birthday greetings? bottle of wine?
i'm old enough to wanna be married, technically not too young, but definitely not in a place where that could happen yet. (plus, it's kinda hard when you haven't actually met the girl...)

He's right - there isn't really a typical listener.
Great music is great music :)

I'm 33 when I am not listening to MMJ and somewhere between 18 and 25 when I am listening.
When i listen to them i feel like a wee lad!

I'm speeding on the head of a sperm when listening to the Jacket and worm feces when not listening to the Jacket...
Yes, I am not the only one who feels the jacket regression... ;D ;D
39 in the humdrum life
17-22 when seeing or listening to MMJ!
I really think it's great that we have the age range we do on here...says a lot about this music. :)
i wasn't asking what the actuall average is for mmj listeners, i was asking how old are you.

Hey Paauwe, what some people are saying is that regardless of how old they are, the Jacket makes then feel like teenagers again. Kind of like the first time you discovered music, when it really began to speak to you & mean something special in your life.
The posts have nothing to do with average age, people are just having fun. If you stick around you'll see that this is what it's like around here.
Relax a little & try to enjoy yourself :)

Great response DB! You are now the official MMJ Ambassador! :)
I second that!
Nice one DG! 8)
I'm 27, a husband, and father of 3 children, and just recently took in my 18 yr old brother in May.
This band, and their music has inspired me to live again.
It's very nostalgic for me.
I work 60 hours a week, to get by out here in the windy city, and MMJ ( since discovering them ) have made my day-to-day that much more bearable.
Cheers,

I'm 473 months young. But I feel like a polished turd. Jacket girl you don't look a day over 25. It must be the Rock & roll lifestyle.

Awe, thanks Taterbug! I hope you caught that 4th of July show!
And primus~ I finally found the thumbs up I so desparately searched for....under message icon, you can choose the thumbs up! :) I liked the direction the thread was going...about feeling young and such so I used it. (We old people get emotional. ;) ;D )

thats what i want.
when i started this thread i wanted to know what other kind of people listen to the jacket. i am 16, i don't knwo if 40 year olds listen to them, or if 12 year olds do. i didn't ask for u to tell me how old u feel when u listen to them mixed in with some fantasized metaphor containing sperm. i know u all like their music, thats why your here. and yes mmj's music great and makes u feel awesome. but again that isn't why i started this thread. if u wanna talk about how mmj gives u some kind of mystical orgasm. go start another thread. i don't wanna sound like i have a cob shoved up my ass. but just answer my question.
OH, and dragonboy, u said this thread isn't about how old the average listener is and its about how old MMJ makes u feel... lets think about that... oh wait, i fuckin started the thread, thats right! i think i know what i meant when i started this thread.

I feel a little old to have a crush on a band. But fuck it.
This band has helped me through some of the rough times.
relax P. no need for an attitude. everybody's bein nice, even if they're speeding on the head of a sperm. threads sidetrack all the time around here but they always end up on track. give it some time, maybe you'll end up loving it. hopefully.

hey, in 40 years you assholes will be rolling me to the shows, and I want to be all the way to the rail you lame ass mother fuckers! I mean, how the hell do you expect me to see over people when I am sitting down? I can hear me now, "Sit down you fuckers!"

25, living together with girlfriend, no offspring as of yet. I believe I'm a pretty average MMJ fan.
In fact I don't believe an MMJ fan can be an average person. Loving MMJ makes us all special, regardless of our age.

Ahhhhhh, now I get it. I forgot about 16 year old one track minds.
You should have said, if your 16, an attractive female, and you enjoy sticking to the subject, send me a message. You know, then you can weed out all of the rambling bitches who like to go off on tangents.
You might have better luck looking for a chick in a TRL-oriented Forum... seems to be closer to your league in terms of class. No offense, I'm just being realistic here - I don't think you can appreciate, yet, the divinity of the MMJ Lady.
Taterbug you are so right.. Jacketgirl is a young spirit indeed!! but i'd say maybe 28...

Nice work
I am 30 and I have a 2 yr. old that is also a fan. Gideon is her favorite. When I play it at home, she puts on a play dress and dances around. Whenever I play a Jacket tune, she recognizes it and says "Daddy, is that Jim James with the crazy hair?" Man, I adore that little girl!
Good one Ewok. Jim seems to be a big fan of your ass.

I am amazed by the Superhuman strength that Ewok has in his right leg. To maintain that position with his left leg just hovering there is quite astonishing. ;D

Yeah. But who wouldn't?

I appreciate that. Most people never notice my amazing hovering skills, for my majestic package and ass. Which kinda sucks... it seems in life, people only appreciate your natural-born prowess, and never your honed skills.
Me and Jim wrote a song about that.
:P
Angry...clearly your foot is resting on a stool, you don't remember?
I can still hover. No more questions.
Back on topic, how old is everyone?

thinks they are when they listen to The Jacket, right Paauwe?
Like this one time when I was listening to The Jacket when I was 31 & I relaxed & floated upstream past heaps of weeds & lily-pads & tadpoles & nymphs & then when I woke up I had turned 32 but I still thought I was 31...
ewok, how old do you feel when you hover?
Damn, I wish I had "O"s in my name!
I think I have gotten more chuckles out of this thread than any other. You guys rule my Thursday.
My name ends in OK, which is just too fucking awesometastical for me to contain myself any longer. Consider Mr. Bradley uncontained from hence forward.
Yeah, this thread has amused me, and I'm glad Pawwwuea seems to be catching on that this forum consists almost entirely of real fruit cakes.
Quoteewok, how old do you feel when you hover?
Youthful - although I feel older in a higher-winds environment, or if it's raining. But I'm only 21, so I can't really appreciate the splendor of being a decrepit flying dinosaur (such as the Plesiosaurus, Pteranodon, Pterodactylus, Dimorphodon, Rhamphorhynchus, or even the Quetzalcoatlus).
And yes, I realize that the pterosaurs are no longer classified as dinosaurs - but fuck, Pluto isn't a planet anymore, either...
id be proud, starting the most entertaining thread in too long. i know how he feels, though. its a tight community. and we KILL ALL WHO DEMAND STRAIGHT ANSWERS!!! i loved the sperm head/worm shit post, i was thinking of a way to top it.....alas i have failed.
back to topic though, im 22, i do a terrible heinous roofing job that makes me wanna go back to university and use my head, so i dont end up and alcoholic criminal like almost everyone i work with. and im not kidding, must be 60% of them!!!
anyway, im gonna go drink some scotch/beer/wine and punch a homeless man to death, and sit on his chest till the cops arrest me
peace and violence
second Rat man
Thanks to everyone who posted here. Had a shitty day and hadn't been on here in a while and this thread and it's constant jokes and bickering were just what i needed. I can always count on my friends in the forum to save the day. ;D Thanks again.

Actually, I feel quite good anyway. It just that I want to do so many things and it feels like I won't have time doing them before I'm dead. And yes, I know I do think too waaaaay too much.
according to conaway i'm fourteen. but in reality I turn one quarter of a century tomorrow.
i don't know if that's average or not. you could figure that us for us, Pauwee, that is if you've learned mean, median, and mode already.
