Bye Bye Johnny

How am I going to break the news to Josh?

Both Joey and Johnny died of cancer, that's luck of the draw. Dee Dee had a weakness of the soul.

There is no real reason, though. It's just what happened.

as a drummer, i will assert that if we can avoid choking on our own vomit or drowning, the fact is that we get actual exercise during the performance.
