On the 25th of May 2013 when Meat was performing at Men Arena at Manchester for his Last At Bat tour (I flew to England from the Netherlands that morning to be there), Jim had a speech at Amherst. In fact, Meat told us on stage how proud he was of Jim about this.
The speech is in the link. Awesome!
