After reading the sad news earlier this week of the passing away of Pat DiNizio at only age of 62 years old, the singer-songwriter of the great 80’s band The Smithereens from New Jersey, United States. Off course I’ve been watching some of the video clips and then listening to some more songs/albums the last couple of days.
Here’s my little tribute blog post on this Saturday morning to him, if you want to listen to a few of his/their songs this weekend? I’ve not really listened to him or them for years but back in the 90’s they played a lot of The Smithereens videos on that late night Aussie TV show called Rage and one mate in high school was much bigger fan than me too.
