Re: Has Jimmy Lost His Knack At Songwriting?

With the debut of the new songs this summer, I figured I'd bring this up again. How do you guys feel they stack up against the rest of the catalog?

One of my friends said there's been some construction going on with the trains, which is why I wasn't planning on taking one. How long does it take to get from downtown to the stadium? I've never been... I think the construction is mainly north of the city, but you can get lots of information inclu...

I'm also trying to figure out how to get from downtown to the show. I heard a cab could cost $45-$50 to get there. So if I end up doing both nights, that's almost $200! Crinkles!

Transportation from Downtown Chicago to Toyota Park

So, my mom and grandma were just in Chicago to see Joel Osteen and they asked their cabbie how much it would cost to go from downtown to Toyota Park and he said it would be $45-$50. Now, as much as I like Jimmy, I'm not ready to spend $200 getting to and from the shows. Are there any shuttles, etc. ...

That's EXACTLY how I feel (as a facial hair dude myself). I still remember how strange that Hot Water album cover looked when I first saw it. He also had a music video out around that time where half way thru the video he peeled off a fake bushy mustache to reveal the new look. To this day the no-m...

"Payment Through Certified Funds"

I found some tickets online for an upcoming show, and the seller said she wants "payment through certified funds."

Could someone explain to me what this is?

Between 1991-1995.

I'm 19 now, but my grandma had Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes and A White Sportscoat and a Pink Crustacean and played them all the time when I was little, so that's what got me hooked.

GumboPirate, is that picture from the St. Louis show? And I think that makes sense that he's busy running the businesses these days and not writing as much. Part of me thinks that's why I'm noticing the lackluster songs more. As someone else in this thread posted, he's starting to do more and more c...

I've always considered his best work to be "A White Sportscoat and a Pink Crustacean" through "Volcano" with solid work throughout the 1980s, 1990s and into this decade. I thought "Take The Weather With You" was a really good album, and "Banana Wind" happens t...

I'd like to see Jimmy kinda scale it back. My favorite songs to hear live are the ones he tends to close with ("Defying Gravity", "Tonight I Just Need My Guitar") and not the ones that come across all Vegas-y...

Re: Has Jimmy Lost His Knack At Songwriting?

It's not like he never had clunkers in the past. You know...the other option is for him to stop putting out any new songs all together. Would that work better for you? Personally....if i don't like a song...hit hit skip. I didn't really mean anything by it, it's just an observation. I own all of hi...

Has Jimmy Lost His Knack At Songwriting?

I brought this up over on JimmyDreamz a while back... Back in the day, Jimmy wrote some amazing songs. That's something I think we can all agree on. But it seems like lately he's putting out mostly clunkers. "Everybody's On The Phone", "Getting The Picture", and especially "...

We personally knew the guy we bought them from (a neighbor), but he had bought them through eBay. I know he was awfully upset and embarrassed about it and contacted eBay, but I don't know what ever came of it... Haven't bought them from anywhere other than TM since, however, therefore avoiding the p...
