Jimmy James

here's a good story for the day. i had to send my box back to peterwhitecycles today for all my fixes. i park the truck towards the end of the parking lot near the UPS stor when i see a furry, bearded dude in a trenchcoat with a funny hat. i immediatlely know that it's jimmy james from My Morning Jacket, Louisville' favorite- and only- mega phat band. i've seen them a couple times and the wife is a really big fan. in fact she has the kids listening to and from school. i thought of asking him for an interview, but no, from what i could tell he was in the parking lot trying to sell his Grand Wagoneer to a couple. Do they know it's Jimmy James from MMJ? i hope so!! passing him in the lot i told him i liked their last show in louisville, one which i actually listened to on the live feed from WFPL.

the JimmyJames story gets a little better when we went to see "Elizabethtown", the Cameron Crowe movie that takes place and was shot throughout Louisville and in other parts of the good KY. the movie was terrible at times, and passable at others. i saw jimmy james yet again as a member of 'Ruckus', a fictitious band that actually is MMJ in it's entirety.

so ask yourself. how many times do you get the good fortune to see a major rock star in a parking lot 1 mile from your home, and then seem them in a major Hollywood film all in the same afternoon? impressive, no?

here is the link to MMJ's website. hope the link function works this time, b/c "Fat Cyclist" didn't work earlier today when i tried to insert the link. Vamos a ver.

**editor's note- it didn't work. i'm just going to type the damn thing in, but i assume it won't show as a hyperlink.
