I'd suggest he went back to music but lets face reality that if it was because his sisters were hot that they were a success, Jim was just like the spare appendix at a wedding and he has proved it every time he opens his mouth.

He was on Matt Cooper about a fortnight ago. A complete psychopath.

In fairness Jim Corr wrote alot of the stuff and was the one who got that band together. Whether you like his present day views or not - No need to attack him personally
