Jimmy Eat World Didn’t Have Goals Of Mass Stardom

Stuart Green of Exclaim! magazine spoke with Jimmy Eat World front-man Jim Adkins about the band suddenly hitting the big time. Adkins admits, “It’s kind of strange. It seems like all the time things are happening that I would never think would happen to a band I was playing in. None of us really got into playing in a band with goals of mass stardom. We’re kind of bad with compliments and having a lot of people like your band is a big compliment.” Exclaim.ca has since removed the article.
