a pirate looks at FLOORty

Must Have stepped on a pop top...

Guess the stage had some "changes in latitudes"

Some people say that there's a woman to blame...

Looks like he took a trip to margarita-wait for it...spill.

Transcript From the fall:
"son of a son...
son of a son...
son of a SON OF A B****!!!

Maybe he saw his shaker of salt and went after it

"My Head Hurts, My Feet Slipped and I Thought I Saw Jesus"

"fell of the stage, had to limp on back home"

"My Head Hurts, My Feet Slipped and I Thought I Saw Jesus"

"fell of the stage, had to limp on back home"

Excellent - bet he uses that one sometime this year.

I was thinkin' he might say something about it not feeling right being upside down in Australia, and he was just trying to get right-side up. But I like yours better.

worked on this last night...

"A Pirate Looks At Surfing"

Look, the crowd's an ocean
I may take a fall
I've gone surfing on various waters
But never surfed a crowd at all

I'm like a beach ball
And they won't let me fall

It's been twenty years and I finally came back
Just like a cat, I didn't land on my back

I missed the edge of the floor
Tried to go for the door
And I wasn't God's own drunk again

With just a few friends,
All my Aussie friends.

he could always do The Beatles Day Tripper in concert now!!!....i guess Trip around the Sun has a whole new meaning!!!!

If we can't laugh at those near and dear to us, who can we laugh at. Thanks for the smiles guys!

"My Head Hurts, My Feet Slipped and I Thought I Saw Jesus"

"fell of the stage, had to limp on back home"

Both of these are excellent!

Get well soon JB and I look forward to hearing all about it this summer!

Y'know, the Challenger exploded on launch 25 years ago (1/28/86), killing all seven crew members. The pieces had hardly stopped falling out of the sky before the jokes about Christa McAuliffe, the 'Teacher in Space' on the mission, had started. Jimmy took what could have been a career-ending, if not potentially life-threatening, fall off stage a couple days ago — again, the jokes and clever one-liners are running wild.

And these incidents are hardly unique. Pick an event — any event, from 9/11 to the O.J. case to the Tiger Woods drama — and the jokesters come out in force.

In the case of Jimmy's tumble, it seems that all is going to turn out well and there will probably be no long-term ill effects, but c'mon? I'll freely admit that in many cases I'm as guilty as the next guy, at least when it comes to passing them along, but why is it that we as a society seem to feel the need to inject levity and humor, appropriate or not, into just about every situation? Rock Hudson's death from AIDS? Natalie Wood falling overboard and drowning? The Exxon Valdez disaster? Earthquakes, fires, floods, famines ... the list of events goes on, and without fail someone is Johnny-on-the-spot to make a sick joke about it.

I see what you're saying, but at the same time, we all know that Jimmy is the type of guy to have fun with it. Once word came out that he would be okay, I don't see a problem with a little humor to brighten everyone's mood.

Like I said, I did not mean any disrespect by my original post, and I dont think anyone else crossed the line when it comes to talking about the situation. In fact, I am expecting several funny moments on tour this year when he incorporates jokes and one liners into the show.

Totally agree, spadilly. I'm sorry if it sounded like I was coming down on the jokesters in general. Once things have been resolved and we are assured that all will be well, then the jokes, gags, wise-cracks, and one-liners are not only welcome but by damb golly encouraged. I'll even contribute to the fun and suggest that going forward all audience members who bring blow-up sharks/life rings/beach balls be given front row seating in order to create a landing pad of inflatables, like a huge ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese's......

And I echo your thoughts that Jimmy seems to be exactly that type of guy, and I too expect Jimmy to make humorous references to this during the rest of the season — as well as work it into a song of its own somehow.

But I still occasionally wonder just how Christa McAuliffe's parents must have felt when some of the jokes hit the circuit..... The saying about "sticks and stones" isn't 100% accurate, you know. Words can have an extremely significant impact on people when they are in an emotionally vulnerable state.

Personaly, I think Jimmy would enjoy the good humored jabs at him. I think it's vastly different than making fun of the Challenger accident that killed 7 astronauts. Not one really started the one liners until we were reassured Jimmy was ok and had been released from the hospital. IF Jimmy had been gravely injured, I doubt ANYONE on this forum would be creating humor. But Jimmy as a good humored entertainer has been doing this himself for year. HECK, he wrote Jamaica Mistaka - a situation FAR more serious than this -and poked fun at the situation. I guarantee Jimmy will use this for good humor at his shows in years to come.

[tryin' to reason]

Oh I took a wrong turn...

Okay, in 25 years I have never (ever) heard a single joke about the Challenger accident.
Honestly. Why was that even suggested/mentioned?
