Sorry, I know this is lame and boring for most people, but I want to know: is Jim James single? What's his deal?
i heard he was going out with Lindsey Lohan
i heard he married britney spears and adopted her baby.
Quotei heard he married britney spears and adopted her baby.
and then she dropped that baby....on his head.

yes, there's just one of him. He's just one guy.
that's what you think.

Straight answers are hard to come by
To actually answer the question, yes he is single, last I heard. I think his relationship with the music is probably his priority as of now. That doesn't mean he's not accepting BJ's backstage however.....at least that's what Tracy was telling us after the Nashville show.
Let us know if you were able to do a Cynthia Plaster Caster kinda thing Laura, (or Tracy). I'd be very interested in any results.... ;)

Actually, that's not true. He charged me 20 bucks to blow him...
I didn't hear Tracy's account of Nashville. Will you repeat it?
what happens backstage stays backstage

hrmm... ok. and really, does it matter?
It does if your in the buisness of giving blow job's backstage.
I don't think it really matters if he is single or not.
It's just kinda cool to have a little insight into someone's life that you think is interesting.
He is probably too busy with touring and writing and shit to have girlfriend.
Now this brings something to mind that is kinda off topic? I think about Lay Low and I wonder if that song is about someone in particular?
I mean it's obviously about a woman and sex...so was he thinking of someone specific? Or perhaps someone else wrote it in the band?
Anyone got any ideas???
Quoteare blowjobs really possessive?
yes, they are.
Men are so not fun to gossip with. If you're doling BJs out backstage or openly receiving them from groupies then anything goes in my opinion, but whatever.
You're right, I'm just out for gossip blood ;-)
I am curious about the lifestyle of MMJ and their tour habits and I do wonder how if affects songwriting, view on life etc (I agree with Goldengirl). I would be lying if I said I didn't have a crush on Jim, but it's hard for a young lady not to get attached to someone who moves them through music. As someone I consider "deep" I would be a tad disappointed to hear Jim was living life like LA Guns in 1989, I just had to ask. It would be like hearing that Jeff Tweedy was in it for the sex...
i cant even imagine that jeff tweedy has sex.
*shudder*
:-/
I don't think there is anything wrong with having an inoccent crush on someone. I have a crush on Jim also.
He is just an intriguing, smart, and creative person. Not to mention that when he sings it is just so relaxing and puts such a good vibe out there.
If he did have a girlfriend I would hope it would be no one like Lindsay Lohan.
I know when all the gossip magazines said she was dating Ryan Adams, not Bryan Adams, my friend Cori was not too happy.
She loves Ryan Adams.
Besides, now to all the bj talk, that is an image I don't know if I can get out of my head or not. Doesn't make me swoon thinking about Jim so much. Thanks Guys!! ::)
I
well i dont think jim would date lindsay lohan, but then again, i never thought someone like devendra banhart would date her, either.

Who is Devdendra Banhart?
Quote
Who is Devdendra Banhart?
weirdo psych-folk guy that has put out quite a bit of wonderful material in the past few years. check him out. REJOICING IN THE HANDS, NINO ROJO, AND CRIPPLE CROW are all amazing albums.
Hmmmm... I'll have to remember that name. I shouldn't have problem, doubt it's that common.
And he dates her? Well I guess good job Lindsay for dating cool rocker guys.
It's better than that tool from that 70's show. He actually has his own show called "Yo Mama".
Holy hell, what happened to MTV? I remember in the 80's coming home from school and watching actual videos. I would love to see some MMJ on there. Have you ever seen any of their videos? The only gimpse I ever caught was in Target and it was on the tv's adverstising "Off the Record" from Z.
Random question.
What was the name of the game with the ball in the buckets on the 'Bozo Show'. Can't remember the specific name?????
Wasn't it called The Grand Prize Game? Or was that something else?
The Lindsay/Devendra story was over before it really began. Apparently, they were spotted kissing one night. Maybe they were drunk.

Man I loved that show. :D
I did too. :)

"don't kick the baby"
Considering he thinks a night of surrender sounds as sweet as a baby in a blender and he will sing you songs as long as you don't make it last any longer than it has too....
i have a more important question:
do you think the next album will be a hip hop album? i'm starting to think it might... and i'm starting to think that i would really like that... thoughts?
QuoteWasn't it called The Grand Prize Game? Or was that something else?
My brother and I used to play a home made version of "The Grand Prize Game!"
Of course we didn't any sweet Schwinn 10 speeds to giveway.
My siblings and I did too. Bozo was an inspiration. :)

She loves Ryan Adams.
I hated that Lohan/Ryan gossip too, because I also love Ryan. Who doesn't by the way? Anyway, it was just a misunderstanding from the media, as usual. It's actually a little bit funny too though, isn't it?
Probably, it's just a made up about Jim and her too. She's just too much. And Jim wouldn't stand her. Uh, what the heck. I'm just babbling. I don't know what I want to say, only that I love Jim as much as I love Ryan and I wouldn't mind dating him if I go the chance or something like that, apparantely!
first off... why do i always have to come to the defense of comely hollywood chicks... but....
i dare anyone here to watch lindsay lohan in robert altman's upcoming "a prairie home companion" and say lohan isn't an actress. i will be vindicated...
and also, it's beyond ridiculous to pass judgments based on assumptions based on rumours based on shit you read in US weekly or Star, etc. i don't know lindsay lohan, none of y'all know her either so it's kinda funny to be upset with whom she does or does not kiss...
besides... give the poor little girl a break. she's still very very young, obviously her family trouble has been well documented, and why would you care, anyway? she doesn't stay up nights thinking about the weirdos you brought home to mom... ;)
i love lindsay lohan, shes fucking hot, at least she was when she wasnt skinny. i oved her full figure
I think the Lindsay Lohan comment was a joke and that Jim James was never rumored to be dating her.
well, duh!
but i just wanted to go on record and say it's freaking retarded to say things like "If he did have a girlfriend I would hope it would be no one like Lindsay Lohan.
I know when all the gossip magazines said she was dating Ryan Adams, not Bryan Adams, my friend Cori was not too happy. She loves Ryan Adams. "
because from what i've seen, and other people on the forum can attest to, ryan adams is not just a little bit of an asshole on stage. and because saying that about someone you've never said one word to is sooooooooooo junior high.
somehow, people over the age of 25 don't worry about thay shit so much. you'll get over it... ;)
Um...okay well let's just calm down a little shall we?
I don't really care who the hell he dates. I am just saying something out of my ass.
He can date Lindsay or whom ever he choses.
I don't think it is very nice to say that someone is still acting like their junior high just because they make some dumb comment about famous people.
I thought the whole point of being on a message board is to talk shit and have fun with other fans of MM? Is that not the point?
Besides I am over 25. Not worried. Just putting in my two cents. It's all in fun.
;)

im not sure but if he is you ladies can get in line behind DD because ima make him my furry love bear. im getting a chubby just thinking of him in the leather outfits ive picked out.

Jim said in some interview commenting on his recent pneumonia attack that the next record will be some sort of "Calypso" album.
As I understand Some people are curious, reguarding jim's status....maybe this will help....... when i was at the east rutherford PJ show night 2, the band (mmJ) was waiting with the crowd for pearl jam to finish, I saw jim with a girl who ironically had the same hair style as him, and he was very.... "affectionate" toward her, as she was to him. I dont mean to draw attention to his personal life, but just to put closure to the original question of this thread

how did my wig look?
In repsonse to Olliges' post: I got to talk with the guys after the Boston Pops gig--especially Jim. He informed that his girlfriend was with him (I think all the guys had lady friends in Beantown, maybe to take in the sights between shows eh?). Sorry to disappoint the ladies here (and some of you guys...)
QuoteSorry to disappoint the ladies here (and some of you guys...)
i'm just a little disappointed that we're talking about this. i kind of feel like whatever is talked about in interviews is okay, but whatever else is maybe private.

I don't see why it's any different from a person who didn't choose a career that puts them in the public eye. If a person has a crush on someone else and sees them being "affectionate" in public, why is it bad to talk about it to others? They obviously don't care to be seen with their significant other, and it isn't untruthful, mean-spirited gossip. I just don't think the person who was interested in Jim's relationship status should be made to feel guilty because of it. Unless I'm completely missing your point...
EC--I understand where you're coming from perfectly. I am happy for Jim and I guess that was the driving force behind posting about it. I hope Jim doesn't mind....

It's not any different - and you're absolutely right about that. Gossip just isn't cool, period - whether it's about your friends or about a band that you like. I have no idea if Jim James cares whether people are speculating on his love life, but it makes me feel uncomfortable, because I wouldn't want people speculating about mine. And nor was I calling it mean-spirited - I certainly don't think it was - neither from Olliges or from Mr. Fanatic or from anyone. But you can do something in a nice way, and it can still not be the best thing to do. I think we need to think before we talk about things.
And, just because you're in a band, doesn't mean your private life is easy grabs for the public. I've had this argument with so many people before. And if we keep feeding into it, then it makes others' (ie the people and bands that we like) lives uncomfortable, and they don't get to just live sometimes, and I don't like that at all.
I'm not tryin' to be a jerk, I'm just explaining my point. :) I'd rather lie and bed and listen to At Dawn than know if Bo likes cheddar or gouda.
I agree with you also EC but I don't think anyone was trying to be too into Jim's personal life. I think it was just a topic that got started. If Jim is happy and continues to make great music because of that, then that is all that matters. I guess it would be one thing if the questions people were asking were more personal, but I doubt Jim would care if we all wondered if he had girlfriend or not. Besides, sounds like he doesn't care if he is with her at the shows. She is a lucky girl! ;)

Ha! I didn't think you were being a jerk. It just seems to me that if I had aspirations to be in a band with hopes to be adored by thousands and thousands of people, I would understand that extra attention being paid to me when I'm "off the clock" will come with the territory. It doesn't mean it's right, by any means. The question was only asked, I'm assuming, because the person thinks Jim is really cool, so it's ultimately a compliment, however annoying or prying it may be. The end. :)

when i was backstage making out with Jim, Bo came over and adjusted my wig and informed me his favorite is sapsago.
if anyone gangs up on EC, i'll freaking form a foot clan
You can use my right one--its detachable ;).
EC--I am with you, private is private and like I said I am totally happy Jim has found somebody to share his time with.
If Mr. Jim is offended I formally apologize.
i say if you've heard it straight from the man, the statement ceases to be gossip. also, unless you know jim personally rather than meeting him at a show and talking casually, i wouldn't think jim would mention anything that he didn't think would be repeated. take the bonnaroo example just a few weeks ago. he obviously said something to his friend in passing about radiohead being "sleepy" and it made rolling stone. i'm sure most musicians are very careful about what they say, so if he made the effort to say he has a girlfriend, it's not something he would want to be secret.
my two cents.
lets play the gossip game. from what i just read im going to change it to say "jim said radiohead was sucky.". now wheres a rs reporter when you need one?
Quotei dare anyone here to watch lindsay lohan in robert altman's upcoming "a prairie home companion" and say lohan isn't an actress. i will be vindicated...
There's really nothing very special about her performance. It's not exactly a very rich role and she doesn't do much with the character. Other than the fact that she sings, there's very little to distinguish her performance. She cries, but so what? There are plenty of young actresses who can do that and more much better than she can.
Not that there aren't memorable performances in A Prairie Home Companion, because there are. Lindsay Lohan's just doesn't happen to be one of them.
APHC should never have been made into a movie. If you want to see the show, go to the Fitzgerald theater or one of their stops around the country. As far as I'm concerned this project did nothing for what I consider to be the last bastion of old time radio theater...
perhaps a thread on Lindsay Lohan's acting abilities (or lack there of)?
Why even dignify the subject with its own thread?
P.S.--this one is careening of its tracks (which is ok baseed on its perceived stickiness I guess)
