Michigan woman sees Collective Soul for 54th time

[LaBelle]

Anything will be too much.

[MyOneAndOnly]

If he pulls off this reunion i bet that they offer VIP packages for well over $1,000

he's a whore for money and his baby needs Pampers!

[MyOneAndOnly]

His baby momma likes to go shopping!

[MyOneAndOnly]

Billy is progressive but he wants his woman home to raise his spawn because he never really had a loving mother

[MyOneAndOnly]

please come back, pale horse. And bring billy a $50 million contract and his own tour bus so he doesn't have to look D'arcy or James in the eye

I still have a hard time fathoming how D'arcy will get involved and if It's just BC/JI/JC and Jeff or someone I have a hard time imagining that that would really gather all that much fanfare at this point. A lineup like that would have been a hit in 2007, but Billy's spent the last 10 years hurting the touring brand with some bunk lineups.

his real mother abandoned him even though she lived like 20 minutes away and his step mother beat the shit out of him on the reg

[Trotskilicious]

but he then was super fucking sad about it when she died?

[reprise85]

yeah abuse is funny like that it doesn't necessarily make you love your parents less

[reprise85]

also i think they talked about it later and he forgave her or whatever

[Trotskilicious]

well i think bill is just a drama queen

[Trotskilicious]

he was mostly mad at jimmy for doing drugs

[reprise85]

he is a drama queen but i do think she beat him. just because of his disordered personality but also, this might be dumb but the song in my body is the perfect anthem for childhood dissociation from physical and/or sexual trauma, but obviously that's my interpretation based on my experience

[Trotskilicious]

once you appear on alex jones the story of your life is subject to disbelief

he was mad ar jimmy for getting out of control, really. he was doing drugs also and did them way after, too. maybe not slamming heroin but hard drugs obviously. the special they did on MTV before the VMAs all like we don't do drugs only jimmy we hate it we just kept giving him chances was such bullshit

per bill

jimmy did nothing wrong

just like the terrorists

[Trotskilicious]

band stopped kicking ass once they kicked a guy out for drug abuse which i mean it just stands to reason

do drugs, kids

[reprise85]

he got powerful heroin and did too much of it that night (well, Jonathan did and he wasn't responsible enough to take care of him), i'm not sure he ever would have got kicked out if that night never happened, despite proclamations that they were just putting up with it until the end of the tour or whatever

[Trotskilicious]

i really cast a lot of doubt on the depth of his heroin use tbqf

jon melvoin was the in-too-deep heroin user who jim was with, he's not responsible for the man's life

[reprise85]

well there is definitely record that jim abused drugs enough to go to rehab after recording his drums for SD and disappeared for time periods on drug binges, but that was earlier in the band. really unclear how bad it was at the time of MCIS

[Trotskilicious]

i mean i think people should do drugs

[reprise85]

i have mixed feelings, certainly if you can control yourself have at it. but it's probably not great to be abandoning people who depend on you ya know

[Trotskilicious]

well idk anything about what happened with jim and i don't pass judgement on it

[reprise85]

i mean none of us know what happened and i was a big ol' drug addict and probably would have shot up smack eventually, definitely not judging him

[redbreegull]

I have a tab of acid should I just drop this shit or what

[redbreegull]

there's a possibility my friends might come over later and try to cheer me up but it's not super likely

[FoolofaTook]

Heroin is pure evil. I have seen it up close, in several individuals. We should pity Jimmy.
