Do you have a blog with the story that you mention, or is it hypothetical?

Pat was like having a relative over. He is also very kid friendly as he's a dad also.<br>Pat even played in his socks and slept on our sofa..(he chose the sofa because it was in front of the TV. He could have had a bed). I was going to title my story,"Honey, there is a Rock Star on our Sofa". Then the follow up was "A Rock Star Drove My Car" But I won't get into that one.

It was also cool to hear Something New as well - I don't know that I would have guessed the story behind it, so that was one interesting thing about Pat's solo shows - getting to hear stories that are new, even to the largest Smithereens fan. Honorable mention has to be given to Pat's story about touring with the Ramones as well. Classic. Evening Dress was a reaaaallly nice pick – one of my favorite songs of the later Smithereens albums.
