Re. his age, he actually turned 41 last year.
And regarding whether his fans love Spike rather than him, I guess that depends a lot, and can change upon meeting him.
He’s a very likeable person who makes you forget Spike in the moment, unless you’re just in for the "bad boy vibe".
I’d say Spike is a nice "wild" fantasy, but James is more the guy you’d like to spend time with, in the real world.
Geraldine, people have good days and bad days. James wasn’t at this best at the Harvest. He still managed to do his best to please the fans yet.
I saw him at the El Rey 3 months later in a GOTR gig, and wow... What a contrast!
