Jesse James Dupree is the founder of Jackyl, he turned to music after his good buddy of 18 years and lover, Billy The Kid, was gunned down in a "blaze of glory" by Bon Jovi's great granddaddy, "Bufford T Madog Justice Tannon" (not to be confused with Shirley Temple) in 1882. During this time it was reported that outlaw Jesse James had died, but what actually happened was that in 1885, Jesse James found Doc Brown's Time Machine in a cave just outside of Eastwood Revine, CA.
