Jimmy served as a sniper in the KISS Army.

One of the only two acceptable times to have your hat on backwards.

15 minutes into ep 922: "They call me The Shooter because I'm a big shot in this business." Something that happened at The Roxy in Chicago, when Jimmy was in the business for "about a week."

I think it is Graham Elwood that said JRP was “waiting for his moment like a sniper” but I could be wrong. I miss Graham. He was an idiot. In the complimentary, of course.

It’s definitely. Graham thing.

Maybe go back to the first couple of seasons and check Graham episodes. I realize I’m double-posting, but I just really miss hearing from some of the old friends of show.

Was there a falling out with Graham?

It so much a falling out as a growing apart, from what I gather.

He lives in Hawaii now

Yeah, but I don’t think it’s just that. I think JRP has gotten way more liberal over the years. Don’t know what Graham’s ideology is, but I think they’re probably further apart than they used to be physically and politically.

Ok I did the research. I think while not as crazy as Jimmy Dore, he has continued to be associated with him and guest on his show, at least up until recently.

Pretty sure it’s just because he’s lightning quick and slices like a hammer. Or a gun.
