  CHAPTER SIX: “FRIENDS THAT I COULD TRUST” Let’s go back in time… this was on July 26, 2020. I was at Joe’s Café Muine, doing our two-night residential shows with Slowhandicap and Kyle. Peter had just left Vietnam to going study abroad again in Australia for the second, or third time, I can’t remember. He wouldn’t go back until 2021 and now he’s stuck here forever. He could never go back to Australia, I think his semester ended permanently. For what I can recall, this wasn’t a good gig to us all, but Kyle’s girlfriend, Krystal Mai, captured a few photos of us onstage as a trio. The pickup on Malthe was broken during the start of the second set – all thanks to Vivek of the Bohemian Basterds, so I had to switch to Judy for the rest of the show. He apologized to me and offered me some money to fix the pickup, but I said no. Anyway, I was just on my own hanging around and I overheard this song which was played many times on those speakers near the stage with music automatically ...

Mikey Ramone: The Autobiography   CHAPTER V: “SAFETY FIRST” Since the times, days and years, or every single second that I would be still in high school, I had been always very unlucky, especially to find a special friend – yes, just one friend – to vibe along with. I mean, who would spend their precious times together either as a soul mate or just a casual friendship – you know, talking about life, and rock and roll music. All of my friends both in middle school and high school were morons. They were idiots. They didn’t know about rock and roll music – that’s fine; but what they needed to do is to shut the fuck up and not mocking the good music over my face, rubbing it in over and over like that. I despise people like that – they got no brains at all… maybe zombies did eat all of theirs already – to the least extent. That happened, yes – when I was so into Queen back in high school, presumably around October 2007 and onwards… Or even a year earlier when I was listening to Michae...
