	11:11am Cecile: that I agree with.
	♥ 11:12am Planet Tyler: A friend of mine sang/screamed a lot - nothing like Jim's intensity though - and ended up tearing his throat. So how does Jim still do it...???

	11:13am Cecile: well, a teen.
	♥ 11:14am Jack Mello: cool, cecile!
	11:14am Cecile: Well, I dunno. John might have had a lot of throat surgery over the years, or just knew how to take care of his voice. It is a mystery.
