Question Marlon J.D.

What does the "J.D." in "Marlon J.D." stand for?

I think it was Guernica who's suggested Juvenile Delinquent, and I've agreed with that.

Cheers!

I was wondering if it meant Juris Doctor. As I see it the song has references to "Reflections in a Golden Eye". I haven't watched it yet. Is there a clue in the film that makes you sure it's Juvenile Delinquent? Or was Brando a criminal when he was young?

Thought it was for 'James Dean' but that doesn't make sense in the song, really, does it?

Same! This song is just Manics at its best imo. Superb lyrics and music, a chorus that sticks, the wild middle part (and end), a spoken quote and some cool guitar work
