Lindsey has man boobs, that's why he always wears a jacket. Don't get me wrong though, I love him. Boobs and all.

He'll often slip off the jacket and appear in a t-shirt and I have never noticed any breasts.

It caught me off guard one time when he didn't have a jacket on. This was probably a year ago. So I just started keeping an eye on any pics of him that came up. In every photo, he has a jacket on. I noticed it again when watching the video of him with his dogs, on his bed. You can see it a bit there. It's not a bad thing at all, and doesn't change my thoughts of him at all (I would not be offended if he arrived naked in my bedroom, for instance), but I started wondering if that was why he ALWAYS wears a jacket.

yeah, he used to always take off his jacket for the encores during his solo shows. not so the last 2 tours (except that one time in Seattle when he was in a t-shirt the whole show (really skinny!). so i was wondering the same - what's with the jacket, and people kept yelling at shows to take it off, and he'd throw back remarks about sweating even naked.

i'm assuming this is what you are referring to:

You're right, I had exactly the same thought on why he sweats to death but leaves the jacket on. I think it must be an aging thing, I've noticed it on other once-buff older men.

What I noticed is his stomach when his t-shirt comes up. His stomach is not fat by any means, but it's a little more fleshy than you'd expect, since he's small and so active. But I guess he doesn't do any ab exercises. As for breasts, it doesn't look to me like I could pinch an inch.

And even when Linds was younger and on the swim team, he may have been more buff than now but he was still a pretty slender guy.

Will must take after Lindsey's dad. I've seen pics of him and he seemed more large/buff. Well, more than Lindsey for sure.

hey Nico - long time no see!!

yeah he's average height, about 5'10"-5'11" maybe, but a pretty tiny, skinny guy. he seems in a really good shape, but unlike many younger guys i can't imagine he'd be doing something like lifting weights - which his kid might easily be doing.

Hey girl! I miss this place. I feel like I need to catch up with all the new FM activity...

I remember Vanessa Carlton thanked Lindsey on her one album and mentioned something about him being a yogi. So perhaps that is one of his exercises of choice, aside from swimming and being a complete non-stop machine on stage. So he has that long/leaner physique that I always associate with people who do yoga and/or swim.

Well, quite.



Probably not playing football, basketball or surfing like the kid either, lol. Keep that walking up, Lindsey!

As for the tummy pudge and boobs? Totally endearing, though I never thought this shirt enhanced the breastage particularly well.



Casual wear makes it more noticable, I should think, in some ways.

ok that red shirt is just the worst.. it looks like a woman's top, with some sort of empire waist --the way it tucks in just under the breasteses is awful. Burn it. Now.

It does fit like a nightgown in that particular photo. The way the sweat makes it cling there is unfortunate. But overall, I don't think it was bad. It's just a normal t=shirt, no special cut and no tailored waist or bodice . The only bad part was that he wore it the whole tour and considered it a "costume" (as revealed when he talked about SNL). It would have been nice if he had switched up.

Ok I will admit these visuals aren't the most flattering of Linds, but I feel like it's all relative in photograph. Lindsey is such an angular, small-built guy that any extra pound is probably noticeable- particularly when he chooses to wear these basic-looking, loose-fitting/non-fitted items. I have expressed for years how I feel about his fashion choices. Shoot, I even made a thread on it somewhere (though most of my little pictures disappeared).

I feel deeply that Lindsey is such a singular, epic talent that his looks and/or style are so superfluous to what matters most. But the fact that he's such a handsome guy and could do SO much better in his outfit choices but seems to have an undying affection for Hanes, well, I get a little sad.

Bruce Springsteen is the same age as him and Bruce just gets it with his style. But you can't win them all I guess...

Lindsey is still an amazingly good-looking old git and powerful in ever way on that stage. So he can get it regardless of his fashion fails.
