I like it. I bet he hasn't been that bare since he was sixteen. People need changes every once in a while, it's healthy.

he shaved it so it wouldn't burn when he sets himself on fire at midnight on nye.

btw - if jj does play jerry, i would instantly combust of all things awesome. and probably pee myself.

Maybe you should change the name of this thread to "Jim rumored to play Jerry Garcia" or something along those lines.  I think that's much more interesting than an update on his facial hair.   :-/

;D  My first post was going to be "I think it's about the fact that he shaved."

my question is not, is he doing jerry but what else is happening to cause the daily toil.  child- kids hate beards ?  partner ?  film ?  change of life change of image change of head space?  kind of like when women cut their hair  after a break up - '' get that man out of my hair'' ........

What does "last album a little tough" mean?  It's the "minus" for Jim playing Jerry...I know EU is badass, but huh?  I think Jim could nail Jerry...er, play Jerry well, you know what I mean.  I think my mind is in the wrong gutter after reading about "Milk."   :-?

I was thinking the same thing on the "tough" talk.. That'd be awesome to see Jim play Jerry.. Btw..He looks so cute in the picture..  :)

There's a decent chance he shaved his beard just because he wanted to.  :P

I, for one, would welcome the revenge of the beard. When they came on stage at NYE I was wondering who this little boy and how did he know the lyrics to Curtis Mayfield

I can't get used to the new look.  Bring back the beard!

I think this might be because of my bias of them being these wild kentucky mountain men or something.

Still, on the upswing, I definitely thought he had a very Robert Plant-esque type look.

I feel like I need to drive down to Louisville and scavenge for it in the trashcan behind a barbershop or something.  It means that much.

Jim James could auction those things off for charity.  Or do a Locks for Love-type thing for bald men who need compensatory facial hair.

Maybe his mom knits them into socks and mittens.

i heard he turned his beard hair into guitar strings and that's why they still sounded good in chicago and new york, the beard is still there, just on the guitar and not on his face

Jim looks funny with no beard.

I saw him and talked with him (well, I said some stuff to him and he nodded while chewing on the side of his plastic cup.)
I think the no beard make him look like a mid-late seventies rock star... I'm digging it. Change is good!

Post by: goose on Jan 12, 2009, 11:05 AM
It makes him look younger.  If you get used to people with facial hair and they change it up, they look like a babe from Look who's Talking or something.  I think change is good though.  Always keep them on their toes.

I think that is the band's motto.

I know, I know.  I almost resorted to bringing the little one with me, but I figured that would be frowned upon.  However, if she saw Jim, she would say, "Look Daddy, there's your morning jacket!"

The bluegrass thing isn't happening on Thursdays anymore at Bearno's.  I don't know if it's because of the weather or booking or because I don't go much anymore.  ;)  But hopefully, when things slow down for me a little, I can get a bit of a social life back in order.
