In The Middle


Odds are, if there is a skivvies party, I'd be the guy in jeans and a plaid shirt. Actually, if there is any party, odds are I'd be the guy in jeans and a plaid shirt. Apparently (based on my listening to public radio), these guys have a new album. And while I might be the only person in the world who didn't know where the band's name came from, the story made me laugh:
"It comes from our other guitar player, Tom's, family. Quite a long time ago, his brother Jim was picking on his younger brother Ed — I think they were like 6 and 8, or something — and sort of beat him up. And in retaliation, Ed drew this picture of Jim with a globe in his mouth, saying that he was so fat that he could eat the world, and wrote 'Jimmy Eat World' on it, and put it on his door for him to see when he got home from school one day."
