Thank you, aen!
Someone told me that when Jimmy faced "the ocean" and crossed his arms across his chest it was like an embrace of them, an acknowledgement, a thanks. I don't know if that's true or not but it was a lovely gesture. One of my favorite post-concert photos...for me, there is a poignancy to this one:
From everything I knew, saw, and heard about Jimmy I don't believe he ever would have taken advantage of a young fan who was just there to see him, to meet him, to say hello and wasn't looking for anything else. I honestly don't believe he was that kind of person (and I do realize that there were many musicians - and entourage members - who did take advantage of any situation that presented itself). I don't have any firsthand knowledge of the 1977 tour but talking to people who do have firsthand knowledge even then they don't believe he would ever have forced himself on an innocent or unsuspecting fan.
