They've never played it live! What's up with that?

    Shitty song...makes Dirty Frank sound like Stairway to Heaven
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    It's a fun song! Are all of the songs on Lost Dogs considered shitty songs. I think at the Gorge Eddie referred to Dirty Frank as a shitty song. If they don't like the songs they why did they put out Lost Dogs? It's puzzling, their attitudes towards these gems.

    In actuality, I don't believe any of the dogs are necessarily "shitty", at least not totally. I think Ed would refer to Frank as shitty strictly because of its subject matter and it was more of a joke than a true PJ song...but on the other hand the music pretty damn good, it's a song you can groove to. I've always said that PJ is the only band that could have all those awesome songs just sitting around and then put them out on an album 10 times better than what 99 percent of the current bands are capable to producing.

    Gremmie, though, just happens to be my least favorite Dog....even though it too has redeeming qualities

    It's a terrible song. Best forgotten about really. Nearly as bad as Rats.

    Rats is kindof funky. I think they played Rats in Boston this year. It was very cool.

    Didn't Brenden O'Brian play lead "surf" guitar on that track. Just a thought.....

    I know someone else did, but I don't know the name. Maybe that's why they don't play it live . . . they don't know how? People people it's time to learn how to play it live!

    it's a decent song, and deserved its place on Lost Dogs. Why Sweet Lew got a spot and Leatherman didn't, on the other hand, is a mystery.

    Liner jacket says Bud O'Brian. Whether it is a nickname or no, well, I have no idea, I just happened to have the cd cover sitting on my desk from another reply.
