I mean, how about an update of some sorts? If the president were down, someone would give us an update or perhaps he would throw some words our way.
and this is more important than that...
Doesn't he know that us loyal fans without a life, who depend on him to bring joy and meaning to our worthless lives, need a word or two that he is OK? That I can continue my life knowing he is OK? That his cornflakes were not soggy this morning?
perhaps? :'(

You beat me to it, Tracy. Surely somebody out there has an update on him. Is he home? Is he in therapy? How is his spirit? Something. :-/

You
KNOW his spirit is strong...but how's the torso and the cornflakes? :-?
hope he writes a kick ass song while he's down...
i too would like an update.
Was pretty much thinking the same thing. Now they've cancelled the Euro tour i'm a little more worried about him than i was before. An update on him would be cool... Someone... Anyone... Please???
I understand it's bad if they're having to cancel the tour, but he is obviously well enough to know he will be back by late December.
QuoteI understand it's bad if they're having to cancel the tour, but he is obviously well enough to know he will be back by late December.
Or maybe they're leaving it up
incase he's better by December.
I just hope he didn't puncture a lung. seriously would be the most horrible thing ever. ribs will heal. but his lungs are his most important instrument. this shit scares me so much, he better get better soon I feel the rock in my veins pumping, waiting, ready to blow the skin off my face as soon as the waves of sound touch my epidermis.
Hi all,
Let's respect JJ's privacy regarding the injury. I think he must have been hurt pretty bad to cancel the shows.
Remember he's a badass rocker and to do what he and the band do takes an incredible amount of energy. Shit I'm out of air just watching him!!!!!!!!
If he broke ribs or something that could take weeks, maybe months to be 100%.
Prayers and good vibes going your way cap'n goodies!!!!
:)

I think we are respecting Jim's privacy. It's not like we are staking out his parents house and trying to find out which hospital he visits. We're just concerned about his well being...as if he were a little brother or spiritual leader. As far as the douchebags who are worried about their tickets for upcoming shows...fuck 'em. We need to know what's up with him. Is he critical?...are his spirits up?...does he suffer from some sort of PTSD?
This is obviously more serious than we thought. If it is a punctured lung issue or maybe a torn testicle issue, obviously those are game changers as far as his singing voice. And certainly it is too soon for a true prognosis, because he's prolly just getting unsore from the fall itself.
I respect his privacy, but I think we all want an update. Even a, "We're still not sure what's going on. Jim's hurt his ____________ pretty bad, but he's recovering well and we hope to be out on the road ___________..." would help a little. Just sayin'.

Gotcha bro. We are all concerned. The problem is all that medical shit is hush hush mush mush.
I don't know, I think if it was real serious the whole tour would be cancelled??

Good point. I think that's kinda what's keeping us positive about things.
I think no news is good news and that he just needs some time...
"...my head takes a licking but my heart keeps a ticking"
I waited before posting, but I was really hoping for an update on Jim as well. I respect his privacy probably more than most, as I used to be his next door neighbor, as well as a fan, which required a great deal of restraint and respect. But I have a sistertly feel for him now that I can't shake, and I wish I knew what was up, or if there was anything I could do. Get well, Jim.
QuoteI respect his privacy probably more than most, as I used to be his next door neighbor, as well as a fan, which required a great deal of restraint and respect.
That's funny... if you respect his privacy more than most it seems like you wouldn't go on the band's forum and announce how you used to be his neighbor who respects his privacy so much.

So if you were Jim's neighbor you mean to tell me you wouldn't mention it? Come on..... It's not like she really gave any inappropriate information out.
Well I was Jim's neighbor when he lived 143 McGillicuttie Way in Louisville and I don't see any harm in putting that out there because he doesn't live there anymore and I'm really concerned with his ribs?
(Welcome to the board, Kim H--you're doing just fine, and don't let the naysayers deter you round these parts)
It wasn't that this person used to be Jim's neighbor, it's that she used to be his neighbor and needed to tell us that she respects his privacy more than most... most who? Oh bother... whatevs.
But no, if I used to be Jim's neighbor, I wouldn't be on here telling everyone.

Why not? That'd be cool. How is it an invasion of his privacy to say you were his neighbor
in the past? Doesn't make sense to me.
QuoteIt wasn't that this person used to be Jim's neighbor, it's that she used to be his neighbor and needed to tell us that she respects his privacy more than most... most who? Oh bother... whatevs.
The point was that since she did once live next to Jim (and I would dare to say most of the people on this forum have not lived next door to Jim), she understands the temptation more than most to invade his privacy (i.e., it would make more sense for her to drop by next door for a cup of sugar to meet Jim and invade his privacy, whereas me finding out where Jim lives and driving a couple of hours to borrow a cup of sugar simply to meet him is probably a little less tempting), therefore, her use of restraint to walk next door is probably more practiced than my restraint of driving for hours...
So, hopefully that clears that up entirely and we can all go on with our lives in a happy and frutiful manner.
Hello Kim H. Welcome to the board...don't ever shake that sisterly love! ;)
It's cool. I just find that when people are like "i was Jim's neighbor" or "I knew Jim back whenever" it says more about that person... Or something like that. It's just the "I was his neighbor and I respect his privacy more" all the while announcing said facts got my back up for some reason.
What reason, I do not know. I'm a moron.

I think it's weird that people who actually might be close to the band get made to feel like their not welcome here because of people like you.

I thought that post was weird when I read it, too. I thought at first that I was just jealous that she was their neighbor, and then I thought, no, that post was just weird.

b) I don't think anyone close to the band is on here. And that's my point, actually.
well, you're wrong.
But out of respect of the band's privacy, people who are close to the band don't talk about being close to the band.

just thought i'd mention it, you being a teacher and all ;)
as you were.
This thread has taken all sorts of strange turns. . .
How about we start over?
We all really, really hope Jim's ok. Any updates that could be passed our way would be greatly appreciated, but we certainly respect everyone's privacy.
If you just update us, I promise I will stop climbing trees and looking through windows.
like the note said, he needs a little more time to fully recover but he should be back in full fantastic force when it's time for the chicago shows.

But seriously, thanks for reminding everyone of the REAL issue!

To is a preposition
Come is a verb
I mean, I guess this is what happens when you are so intense on stage. But it worries me that there is so little information on what is wrong with JJ. And to cancel that many shows...
Yikes.
I'm still so sad.
None of the cancellations personally affect me, but the world just ain't right without MMJ rockin' it.
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
We have heard that he had "massive trauma to his torso". My guess as to why we have not heard more is for one of three reasons:
1. It was noted that he did the splits, it's possible that he injured a very private area that people don't like to discuss.
or
2. The actual diagnosis might not sound as bad as it really is. For example, severe bone bruises take months to heal and hurt like hell. But, if you've never had one, you might think "He cancelled the tour for bruises, that's bogus!" They don't want fans to think they didn't do everything to make the shows work out.
or
3. It's none of our damn business.
hope you get well soon jim, like someone else on here said... sometimes you just rock too hard!!!
for eveyone who had a ticket to one of the cancelled shows - we all feel for you (i've been in there), but we all want a healthy jim!
Quotehe should be back in full fantastic force when it's time for the chicago shows :).
I think he might be doing better.. i saw him at Kentucky Kingdom the other week lol :)

Well! If he's able to do that then he must be doing alright. It's good to hear.

poor jim. injuries are never fun. especially when it involves ripping, tearing, and bone bruising. hope he is doing well.

This is just, Mexicans are crossing the border in unbelievable numbers in order to see My Morning Jacket in San Antonio!
......and the "my morning jacket" was lost-in-translation to "my free morning jacket"....
...it can be chilly some Tijuana mornings
....or he has faked the injury to secretly film and star in the new Spiderman feature film... Spiderman V: Melting Faces in Unknown Locations
Synopsis:
Spiderman has had his glorical flying-V heisted by a rival record company and must secretly go undercover (beard, long hair, shades, Washington DC t-shirt, etc) in hopes of locating the only gem that encompasses his power to continue to melt faces.
