Like Indian musicians, we tuned together 

Stroboscopic Tuners, revealed that we never

Played a gig in Concert pitch - whatever.

New drumheads were stolen 

Boiled bass strings saved money

Pitch Pipes were our first harmonicas

Riding White Swans 

We were Kids of the Revolution 

Thank the gods for glam and David Bowie

 

The Sweet at the I-Beam and their 3-part harmonies 

Deep Purple and The Beach Boys combined

That a good catchy song makes a band worth it’s char-monies.

Took NOFX a decade to find 

Buddy Holly died the day that Lol was born 

Lol became Big Bopper a natural showstopper

Busby Berkeley twirled, and Budgie sought ‘em!

Beatles for Sale and Budgie bought ‘em!

The Captain was Awesome in the Village of The Damned

Lol and Mikey D said, ‘Should we call on Rat’s Mum?’ 

NOFX had 10 years of peace until Covid 

Mike had No music as a kid 

No smoking behind the bike sheds

No Drugs, no Pot, no Meth heads 

Outsiders for life – it’s a Gas!

 

Mike? Still a punk at his High-School reunion? 

Retirement? - No way! 

Mike is living the dream again!

Lol’s American Passport - Berlin black shirt and round glasses - Beatles in Hamburg 

10,000 hours - 16 chords - Ringo’s Drumstick - Mike Loves 8 times 

Oasis plagiarism - Sleaford Modism - Burgundy Velvet Underwear!!!!! 

Lol went to Nashville - gave Johnny Cash a No-no 

Fishbowl studio tour guides, Flea and Fred a Go-go 

 

What a Lovely Fellow Mike is!
