Ghost of a flea: J.D. Fortune

August 10, 2005

J.D. Fortune

Canadian and boring do not have to rhyme. It is a slightly tipsy, off-kilter but compelling day as the Flea Presents Great Canadians� recognizes the achievements of J.D. Fortune on Mark Burnett's Rock Star INXS. Tattoos! Kick ass!

Despite being only 31 years old, J.D. Fortune has already experienced enough for a lifetime's worth of song lyrics. From fronting a rock band to joining the Army, performing before stadium crowds to living in his car, even making a living as an Elvis impersonator, J.D. has lived a real-life roller-coaster ride that may be about to reach its highest peak yet.

I am getting my own wings. Seriously. I need to start a Flea tattoo fund-raiser.

Ah, yes, JD Fortune, after his last couple of performances I can't understand why this guy is still around. And... that whole thing with MG after the media interviews, the 'human being' thing is about 'being human' with the tattoos. Talk about Tres Grande Fromage...

I am assuming Mr. Fortune has very favourable numbers based on reactions such as Mainja's. The reality tv strategizing does strike me as peculiar given that he presumably watches the show with the rest of them so must know a Richard Hatch subtlety is not going to work in this context.

I am trying to figure out how much the tats cost...
