Yeah I don't think they ever had an actor younger than late 30's playing him on Broadway, even a 50 year old woman (Melissa Etheridge) did it. If this is still a movie based on the musical rather than the album itself that we're talking about (which is what the originally planned one was going to be, don't know about this) then age wouldn't matter, the character just has to seduce Johnny/JoS over to the dark side rather than being a teenage alter ego.

It is one of my personal favorites and very special to me. It is the first song I ever learned to play. And he played it at the Geezer premier, just for me.

Hubby has some work to do this afternoon and always plays his iTunes list on random songs. First song up: Peacemaker. One of my favorites. Dancing in the den happened.

Posting this out of new found love for legs.

Come to think of it, Jimmy being older makes sense. He's the dark side of the character - looking more run-down, being older - a self that has been through much more is a part of it. He's more of Johnny's future ego. He seduces Johnny to become himself - if he is an alter ego, he's actually a version of Johnny that he could become in the future. He has that in himself but it's not what he is now. The character of Jimmy reflects on this side of Johnny's personality but he isn't real. He's a future prospect that never fulfills - he kills himself and Johnny's future is different (he doesn't become Jimmy).

I don't think it matters how old St Jimmy is... He's more of an abstract idea of the dark side.

International Superhits is back on the Billboard 200 this week at #51.

i love this one the best, his arms are so lovely, and that T shirt actually fits his trim body. He looks great.

Very nice, I like how those pants hug his sexy calves.

Finally listened properly to the lyrics of scattered and worked out what it means to me - turns out it means quite a lot.

I don't think any interpretation is ruled out, it is a very abstract show.

I could be completely wrong, of course. I think these two interpretations don't rule each other out.

It's very creepy. I reported it for spam.

Omg you are on fire - are you drunk? Geez gang up on the Aussie #nokfadonthesetlist

Cool number plate?

That's a great song on a great album!!!

That's a given. they could always be tighter, except for the wetsuit

I was expecting you to complain that his clothes weren't tight enough

Well it is a Best of, good starting point I suppose. Can't think of what else would've caused it.

Damn but the man is beautiful. Very nice picture, thanks for that one! Love the short sleeves, and his long black hair is perfect.

I think just because there's been mentions of Green Day being in the studio and it's put the band in people's minds.

That s pretty good, but I took it as the person Johnny wanted to be, that out going, gregarious person that he was not. This is one of the beautiful things about this show, it has a story but is really open to interpretation. Every time I've seen it I've gotten something else out of it.

Yes, but he is supposed to be the abstract idea of the dark side of Johnny. However, I agree, it is the one character in the show that can be ageless I'm perfectly fine with Billie playing St. Jimmy. He just has to cut Oz out of the tour cycle to fit it in. Just an FYI, Melissa Etheridge, she's no Billie, but not bad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNA1gwHsMpo

AI was there a few months ago.

He was originally announced as St. Jimmy in the movie. However, I question whether he is age appropriate. He seems a bit old for the part. But I will admit, the instagram post he made looks very St. Jimmy. Why? HBO does some amazing work with its movies and TV shows. Just because the movie is made for TV does not mean it won't be top quality. Plus, it has been in limbo for so long I would just be happy to see it made finally.

Yeah, there were a bunch up on Ebay for a buck, which is a good price, but I lucked out and found an action that started at 0.01.
