Regular listeners know how much the Smithereens mean to me. Sadly, frontman Pat DiNizio passed away at 62 on Tuesday night after suffering through poor health for many years. To discuss what the band meant to us we bring on musician John Montagna and share stories, interactions, and impact. What was supposed to be a 30 min chat turned into a 75 min discussion! It's hard to stop when two guys talk about what means most to them. And please check out John's podcast Radio 418. It's very similar to ours - conversations about music, careers, and stories with other professionals.

John has it right. Pat had an innate ability to make anyone he met a friend. While I was fortunate to get to know Pat pretty well over the years I was also at the Iridium that Monday night and while Pat sounded great and looked good he was obviously hurting and I decided not to approach him in retrospect I regrets that decision. I just assumed we would hook up again down the road. I would always request he play Afternoon Tea not a standard request and he would always oblige. Pat has now finished his afternoon tea. WAY too soon.
