So what's up with Jesse Johnson?

One of THE fonkiest guitarists ever...I haven't seen him mentioned in The Time topic. Where has he been lately, and why wouldn't HE be in The Time's latest lineup? At MSN's artist page for him , there's this picture of him with three guys I've NEVER seen him with. Is this supposed to be from his 1996 release, Bare My Naked Soul?

Apart from Morris, Jesse's my favorite Time member. A few years back--early 90s, I think--I'd heard he'd hit rock bottom, and was found somewhere in a car with a gun to his head. He obviously didn't follow through, at least at that time, and for that I'm grateful. But since I haven't heard from him in a minute, I'm wondering...

I think it was late 90's I saw an article in a local paper where he was busted for domestic assault on his wife. Sorry, that is all I know. I know, pathetic.... sigh

I read about that in Rolling Stone. It said he threatened to shoot his wife then himself before the cops stopped him. This was all before the 'Bare My Naked Soul' album so he's obviously turned his life around since then. I was all over Jesse's albums in the eighties. He was the only one who even came close to Prince when I was in high school.

Man, yall making me reach WAAY back. I believe that Jesse left camp cuz he couldn't spread his own considerable chops. Prince is the man but he's still a supa ham. Sad to hear about his breakdown.

I know I got the Free World 12" somewhere at my momma's house...I went from a purple to fuschia fixation cuz of he.

Oh, and Jellybean (don't be so mean) is bomb too.
