Hello. I LOVE Brockmire, but you figured that out already.
I could go in a hundred directions, but I will start with this:
I get the distinct impression that Jim is a victim. Sure, he goes out of his way- seemingly willingly in most situations- to engage in self-destructive behavior-that much is patently obvious.
My question, hypothetical, I suppose:
Do you think he had any substance abuse issues prior to "The Meltdown"?
I say absolutely not. He loved Lucy dearly, or so it seems to me She crushed his soul. I mean he hosted Bob's son's bar mitzvah, for God's sake!!
Curious what others think.
