starting a new thread as i couldnt find the original post anymore.
I've been thinking about this, that Jim wrote MLOONAA for Meat, but from a jealous point of view, and with this in mind, a whole lot of Jim's songs get a whole new meaning. The song that particularly popped into my mind was Paradise. If I remeber correctly Meat told Jim that dashboard story, etc, and Jim wrote a song about it (if this statement is true.
There are many more songs that imply a 'jealous writer': AFL, Total Eclipse, IACBTMN, etc, basically every love ballad Jim's ever written.
So I was thinking: maybe the jealousy is not a side effect of his great writing, but the cause of it?
Think about it: If you have something in mind that you want, but cant get, you envision it much greater than it turns out to be in the end.
So, what if Jim was the lonely guy, envisioning to love, with all highs and lows, and writes his songs with this emotional background.
If Jim would have been a 'normal' person, without his romantic illusions, he might have never written his songs in the out of this world and over the top way he did.
