Untitled edit
- Can anyone add a good picture to this article?
- http://www.inconsistency.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/jakeshears.jpg <---- There's a link for a good pic of Jake. I know nothing of how to put pics up on this site, so...yeah.
- I think his supposed date of birth is ficticous. He's older than his official bio says. I'd put him at around age 33 but am not sure.
Rolling Stone interview edit
Shears mentioned in this month's RS that he lived on one of the San Juan Islands, in the Pacific Northwest. I'd add this info to the page but it should be accompanied the appropriate time period, which wasn't given.
In response to the comment that he is older, I worked with him at Paper magazine five years ago and he was just out of college, so 1978 sounds about right.
- He and my brother were classmates, and I _believe_ he also graduated with the class of '96, so that makes sense. I'd say he lived on San Juan Island from around '90 to around '96, but I have no hard data there. Actually, I have to say I remember his sisters better than I do him.

His Birthdate is correct. I miss the San Juan Islands.
Shears lived on San Juan Island, yes. He and his family were living there when I met his sister (whom I eventually married and divorced) at college in 1990. He attended a private boarding high school in Seattle and I don't believe he ever returned to the islands for any significant period of time after that. I don't recall him really enjoying it there (other than the community theatre). Given what I remember, I'd say his time living in the islands was from 1988 or 1989 to 1992. I really don't remember when they first moved there from Arizona.
