there was some article i’ve read, i think it’s something like jimmy himself is fine for trying to revive JM, but the band was responsible for failing to intervene in a more major way prior to his death

jim got charged with possession because cops found residue inside a needle like really. this was pled down to disorderly conduct

i think a lot of places now don't charge for possession if you call for medical help but don't quote me on that

Speaking of rare MCIS footage, I'd never seen this before. SP on Top of The Pops in 1996.

i don't care about the law (obviously - i'm a cool guy) but i meant does that weigh on his conscious at all??? IT HAS TO.

i don't recall any of that really being addressed other than typical vague sobriety talking points.

I'm sure it does or at least did. Hopefully 25 years later it isn't haunting him.

good point, yeah. fuck the law.

i think it'd be weird to address publicly and probably a lose/lose situation. i'm sure he's gone to therapy, at least thru whatever rehab[s]

also he's like 1000% definitely one of those 12 step people and one of the 'steps' is talking about everything you've ever done wrong

i have a feeling you are being sarcastic. big feeling.

i'm not begging for a giant spin magazine interview. what i'm saying is that the fact that jimmy killed a guy has to weigh pretty heavy on him

Very strange stuff - and Darcy on guitar too? That's even stranger to me than BC w/o guitar, which is inherently strange. But he does seem better to just stand there and sing on this than lately when he has no guitar which equates to all sorts of strange behaviors.

Is it one of those prerecorded deals where the band just has to mime it?

And to merge our current topics here... is that Melvoin at 1:40?

Also, come on - while a totally badass video and a badass shot, is this the best common photo that can be used for his Wiki page?!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Melvoin

So strange that "Angel" is about him... that's one I learned like 5 years ago and I still can't wrap my head around.

@slunken Jimmy didn't kill him though did he. They were doing drugs together. He died, Jimmy didn't. Just like Jimmy had overdosed before and they had to bring him back from the dead. You go to jail if you kill someone, right? Or are you saying Jimmy killed him because he was somehow responsible for his addiction?

If someone says, hey let's go on this rickety and shit old rollercoaster together and the other person agrees. Then the rollercoaster crashes - One passenger dies from their injuries sustained in the crash, the other recovers. It's kind of stretch to say the person who suggested the ride to the other person is responsible for their death ("they killed") the other passenger.

Unless the person strapped the other person in to the rollercoaster against their will and knew that the ride was going to crash and kill them - then they didn't kill them on purpose or otherwise.

Yes it's him, guess it was the touring band at that stage.

And yes on TOTP they mime. In the later years the vocals were live, which I think they are here (I can't remember).

no i'm just surprised JC never really talked about how fucked up it was.

it seems kind of glossed over in his history like it surely must HAUNT him
