Somebody once asked
"Could I spare some change for gas?
I need to get myself away from this place"
I said, "Yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself"
And we could all use a little change

I dunno, this is a legitimately good little lyric.

You doing a guided tour roker or just doing it yourself? Wife and I are going to be there the 4th-17th.

Dang. We’ll be in Okinawa. Starting our trip there. Was originally only going Osaka - Kyoto - Tokyo then Hawaii but the Maui fires kinda ruined those plans so now it’s just Japan.

I'm in between Tokyo and Osaka. Let me know when you're coming through and we'll see if it works.

Awesome. I’ll drop you a line as we get closer to the date.

I think that's the first time I knew what he was saying. After SOMEBODY it was all jumbled up.

From what I heard, he never really recovered after his son's death.
Rough times.

That’s rough, I’m sure the fame (especially when they had hits on the radio) didn’t help. The money is nice but I’m sure the fame can be a curse. Probably especially when you’re famous but not famous famous (ie so wealthy you never deal with regular ppl.)

Can only imagine how many times a day people yelled "Hey Smash Mouth!" at him.
