He also described Houghton's Jimmy the Exploder nickname as "appropriate", comparing his behaviour to a temper tantrum. But Judge Birmingham accepted that since being convicted, Houghton had taken steps to rehabilitate himself, including receiving counselling for anger management and alcohol issues.
Houghton also wrote a letter of apology to the police officers and Judge Birmingham accepted that he was ashamed of what he had done. He described Houghton as "a very capable and successful person", noting that he had won an award and received much acclaim for his work on The Black Balloon, which starred Toni Collette, Erik Thomson and Gemma Ward.
Judge Birmingham sentenced Houghton to 18 months in jail, but ordered that the term be suspended. Houghton is now subject to lifetime violence restraining order preventing him from contacting the woman in any way.

General Comment Like anybody else I may be wrong, but so far I find the song's interpretations here adorably naive rather than anything holding much weight. To me the lyrics seem to be pretty clearly about reaching sexual maturity. A song about sex, just like so many of Led Zeppelin's songs, which have been a noticeable influence on the White Stripes in general, but especially so on this debut album of theirs.
Let's start with the title; it's about a character named Jimmy--Jimmy, "the exploder. Green apples are premature and they turn red when they become ripe.
Jimmy "sees red now", and is "jumping on the bed," have a passionate loss of virginity, giving in to his animalistic urges, like a monkey.
The lyrics could've also used a rabbit as a symbol, but I guess that wouldn't have been as cool. Oh, and don't get me started on all those sexual "whoo"s.
