Alejandra *just* found THIS
in which Jim's year of birth is given as 1950.

Now I have never seen Jim's year of birth printed ANYWHERE before and always assumed Jim fell between Steve and Ruben in age (please take Ruben's assertion he himself was born in 1964 with a grain of salt! ;) )
with Jon and then Al as the youngest.

Ruben is ALWAYS telling us that Steve is older than anyone else on the planet, so can this be right?
Not that there's anything wrong with that; Jim's awesome (& gorgeous) whatever.
Is it a misunderstanding on the part of the journo for "in the 1950s" I wonder?

Who knows? mystery solved? or... mystery deepens?

Anyway, it made me giggle.

:lol:
I've never seen Jim's year of birth mentioned anywhere, either. In fact, last year I chatted on MySpace with one of Jim's very close friends who said that Jim NEVER tells his age! I am very surprised that he would have allowed that to be printed, when he has made a deliberate effort to keep it a secret for so long.

I think Jim looks great, no matter what his age...and I don't consider 59 to be "old!"

I don't think his age puts any kind of "old" label on him, especially when he can still rock out the way he does.

Besides, anyone born on December 18th is automatically awesome in my book. :)

I asked Jim and he says that the year in that article is wrong...but he didn't offer a correction! He's a sly one! 8)

I'm gonna guess he was born in 1952, which would make him 56 right now.

Guess so :)

He's playing this afternoon at a library in Pasadena - I don't have the info in front of me, but it's on Facebook. Oops, or myspace.
