Re: (TV) Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye

["Murray Ramone" <murrayramone@hotmail.com>]

All these things are true, but I think he had no option but to run the band 
like a dictator when you the other band members had a, shall we say more 
artistic temperment ?

Joey saw it as having his girlfriend stolen, but the truth is he married her 
and was with her to the end (and if it inspired joey to write the KKK took 
my baby away it was worth it) so its hardly a simple case of stealing your 
mates burd because your awful awful ! Obviously Linda had a say in this as 
well (she said "I do" at least !) - did you know Joeys brother married one 
of Johnnys ex girlfriends ? these things happen, most people get over it, 
Joey never did, but was that Johnnys fault ?

Joey and Johnny didnt speak, but theres two people to blame there

Johnny was a right winger, his opinions were totally wrong in my mind on a 
lot of issues, so yeh, he was awful awful and a dick, but then again no 
doubt some of the people on this list are

as for preaching to the choir, doesnt god love a sinner that repents ?
