Today I am writing ✍️ a post about Jane Barnes, the wife of an Australian rock music legend, Jimmy Barnes. To say Jane is a wonderful wife and mother is quite an understatement. To say she has assisted in Jimmy becoming the wonderful redeemed good man he is today is also an understatement. Their relationship has weathered many storms and controversies, not the least being Jimmy’s womanising, drinking drug taking ways. Without Jane in Jimmy’s life, he would have died a long time ago. His excesses would have claimed him.
It has only been in the last twenty years that I have grown to love Jimmy Barnes. The redeemed happy, good-hearted family man he has become is infectious. I have always loved old Cold Chisel 🎵 songs. For a while, as a teenager, I didn’t like Jimmy Barnes because one cheap gossip paper had the headline”Jimmy Barnes, my thousands of women.” I may have been young, but I was wise enough to know that if he had literally had thousands of women, that wouldn’t leave much time for anything else. Thank God his marriage has survived his infidelities. Jane is obviously one wonderful woman who is not going to let such controversies ruin her marriage. I think she is amazing because my own marriage was one where my husband unfaithfulness destroyed our marriage, but to my own defence , my ex-husband was nothing like Jimmy.
Some friends of mine also like Jimmy and Jane Barnes and think Jane should be canonised to become The Patron Saint Of Rock Stars Wives. She is lovely and absolutely a wonderful wife and mother with many talents of her own. She actually deserves the recognition she humbly doesn’t seek and I would love to meet her and Jimmy to witness the relationship of two soul mates. May their union continue to be blessed.
