It found me driving from FL to IN in a 2016 winter for a short-notice move. Pregnant girlfriend asleep in the passenger seat. No idea where my life was going and seeing snow on the road for the first time in years, with my entire life to that point crammed in a trailer, heading to a state i'd never been to. I've been lost in the rabbit hole ever since.
I'm here tonight, drinking vodka from the bottle, mourning the loss of my girlfriend by suicide. 3 months ago she took her own life. I miss her more than anything, and would give what little i have in a heartbeat just to hold her close to me one last time. rest in peace Zain, I promised id remember you and i never break a promise, this handle is dedicated to you.
i’m sorry for your loss man. i lost a friend to it. he was like a brother to me and i miss him everyday. it’s really hard to keep living and hitting milestones without them but we have to.
Mein Beileid,für deinen Verlust,ich hoffe du hast einen Weg gefunden damit umzugehen.Das/Unser Leben geht weiter,die Freunde die ich in den letzten Jahren verloren habe haben mich dazu gebracht mir noch mehr Mühe zu geben,mein Leben mit Dankbarkeit und Bescheidenheit zu gestalten. Liebe Grüße in die Staaten, vo mir aus Berlin,Deutschland Michael
This helped me get through the loss of my one of my best friends. We grew up eating pizza out of dumpsters and smoking when we were just around ten years old. It's hard but if you keep on living it won't hurt as much and if it's meant to be you will have other people end up in your life.
a few years ago I found this album because throughout my town someone had written “I am dirty broke beautiful and free” on various art pieces and traffic signs. I often wonder who that person was and if they can even imagine what impact this album has had on me because of them.
I’m pretty sure all the views are just a few thousand of us playing it on repeat for the past 4-6 years. Cuz I remember when there was only 15k views on this video. But no matter how many views this part of the album gets it’ll always hold a special place in my life. I just wish people would appreciate the Mantits side of the album like they do for This side. I remember discovering Mantits back in the 7th grade. I’m currently a junior now. Damn does time really fly by
My friend that got me into this band is gone now. He died like 3 days ago from an overdose 😢 We met in rehab and he would play DIY Orgasms on his guitar and he had so many people singing it. Dammit I’m gonna miss your soul Denis. 💔
Another lost soul to trechory of our own making. I almost fell into the madness. In fact I did but pulled myself out beyond the darkness that did consumed my soul to my core.
My 2 best friends, the type of friend that fights for you even when you're wrong, the type of friends of which I was so undeserving. I don't believe we're given the opportunity to find these kindred souls once in a lifetime if we're gd lucky and I got 2 but not fir long enough. I empathize deeply with what you must be feeling but thank God & pat the bunny for giving us these little gifts of songs which us like minded folk can gather around and let others know that hey, we're with you. I think of my 2 buddies every. single. day. I tear up every. single. day. at the overwhelming feelings of sorrow & emptiness at the permanence of their being fucking gone. I have shut myself off from most of everyone & everything for the last 6 years, long fucking time, to come to some point, some achievement, some award for being sad or something that then I can move on from and gain some semblance of the human I once was and the passion and vitriol and righteous anger, idealism and the love I had for hanging with comrades. Just being a fucking person again. So yeah that kinda took turn. Sorry. I just know the shitiness of loss and I care.
RIP denis ❤️ my best friend and I used to scream the lyrics to this album every night we hung out. He overdosed just short of a few years ago, so hard yet so sentimental every time I listen now. RIP arte
My best friend overdosed yesterday. We both loved this album it spoke to our youth we both fight addiction and recovery he just rolled the dice one to many times. He died on my 60 days. Rip Keith James
R.I.P Keith, been listening to this album for almost 5-6 years now, and whenever I relapse I come back to this comment section, hope he and you are both in better places
Sorry yall couldn't make it out together... hope you're still sober. I love this album, I loved it since I was a kid... sometimes his newer stuff is easier to listen to now a days though.
@Dean-jx8yb I hope you stick with it one day. If you haven't listened to probably nothing possibly everything, it helps me a lot. Wish you happiness and well being.
I discovered this album while I was a crippling alcoholic and listened to it every night while getting blackout drunk. I’m sober now, and this album helped me get through a really dark time in my life.
@@elizabethbarnwell4196 been lisiting to this since the days I would pass out on the floor with a half gallon in hand at party's, still drink to much but I haven't blacked out in years and years
As sad as I am that Pat retired, I dont think any other living human artist deserves to be happy as much as he does, so I hope he finally found his peace, even if it was outside of the peace he granted all of us with his music.
It’s funny but misery loves company . Except when ones misery isn’t shared and understood . Than in the end when the one who knew truth and stayed to save his friend from the drugs his friend got hooked on . Became hooked on to in the end after helping his friend get clean. But the one who gets clean and was supposed to know he had a debt to pay , saving the one who put his own life in danger to save his life . But doesn’t instead he selfishly is jealous of everyone around because of his own insecurities. His inner self now out in open for all to see, isn’t a surprise to anyone . except his friend left behind to suffer alone from the one he betrayed . I haven’t felt anything except pain and misery my entire life . Always from the hands of others . Who I’ve allowed close enough to hurt what had been destroyed by everyone else prior . Blind from beatings and kicks to the teeth . Nothing more to hurt or take away . I’ve lost my life already just to stupid to die . Why has God betrayed me like everyone else . Because of my escapement from reality I suffer in which he has created ? I don’t want to admit that evil can control my life. Because it’s always been something I’ve tried to escape and hate. So wouldn’t God have the ability to finally protect the one who needs help after a life of hurt and betrayal for nothing gained and everything lost? Basically if love is powerful why is it that everyone I love is filled with hate towards me ? I still hold onto believing in Gods words and apply when and where I can . But nothing felt better about it . And here I tell what makes me feel connected to this music and this comment section . It’s a shared understanding of misery I feel comfortable enough to give my side of life’s journey to complete strangers who hopefully will be more of a friend than anyone else has . And it’s not help I am looking for ? It’s only a few words of kindness and shared feelings of misery which would support how hard life can be to navigate. Won’t matter anyways because I never look back at anything I post to protect myself from anymore hurt . Have nothing more to say except thanks for letting me vent . Treat people around you like you want to be treated .
This quote from Picture of Dorian Gray comes to mind listening to Pat's early stuff... "“The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize.” ~Oscar Wild
The only problem is that Pat the bunny is a very good musician. The fact that punk isn't that popular is something different... but Pat... oh boy... he is one musician like no other... he is really unique.
was listening to this as a 14 year old oogle addicted to opiates hopping trains throughout the US, listen to it now as a vegan straight edge 20 year old. reminds me of the worst time of my life.
The whole idea of a parking lot is the representation of emptiness. It’s like going to a big school and no one knowing your name. You can be in a parking lot and no one know you’re there. Or even yet you are the only one there and no one notice/cares. Isn’t that why we all listen? We just want to feel alone together
@@miniroid7 highly doubt pat cares if you pirate anything but also as Dylan said he put it up for free anyways but if you want to buy it check out diybandits.bandcamp.com/album/fight-like-hell-recordings-from-2004-2007 - Pepe from DIY Bandits was jailed and it'll go to him
This makes me think of my little brother who became an addict at 14 and overdosed at 38. I know he would love this album. I do. The best to all who struggle at this level most people will never understand.
It pisses me off that doctors don’t give a crap and the USA health care system even less. We’re just a commodity. We’re dying and suffering. All they see is either $$$ or fake made up morals. Denial.
I found this album when I was 18,I kinda knew folk punk because some of my friends played at a backyard where it was played. I thought it was nice but I was mainly there for the Hardcore sets later in the night. This split gave me the appreciation for folk punk I needed,now I'm a 25 year old punk trying to play catch up after years of mental illnesses and self sabotage. If you're reading this and going through some shit,it truly does get better,we're gonna grow old disrespectfully and fly the black flag proudly
I'll actually be playing this as the world ends. I've got a faraday box and solar charging set up just incase the grid goes first. If you hearing this blasting in the distance after everything collapses, it's me. Come sing along as the oceans swallow cities and firestorms sweep continents in a divine blaze. Let's meet our maker in good spirits and with a soundtrack for the ages.🔥🤘
It's the little-things ain't it? Thank you for your divine planning! Best comment ever. I'm in PA, hope you're close and I don't have to wander the wasteland TOO far. This OH thing might be the start of it?! 😵💫
@@derekhinger1343 I own a Rezvani Tank (vehicle) that's equipped to resist an EMP. 800+HP off road vehicle that Jeep wishes it was. I'll scoop ya or something. Full mad max vibes. 🤣
i caught between this album and ramshackle glory die the nightmare (or live the dream depending on which version you prefer.) It just depends if im having a manic episode or not haha.
I heard these songs for the first time when I was in rehab. One of the other addicts would play guitar and sing for everyone. We were all blown away. It was so fitting. Given the circumstances. I asked him the name of the group and the first thing I did when I got out was look up Johnny hobo.
same here! and yet seeing as she has since passed away, now I can't listen to Pat without tearing up and promising myself that goddamnit I MUST stay clean :)
I'm a traveler/dirty kid. I love listening to this, it flashes me back to freight Trains and Ocean Beach, SD where every traveler goes. Where are my traveler friends ?
I started my street kid life in ob at 16 and just went where the wind blows it was great been though some shit but made it out alive with a badass 5 year old son
I love watching the evolution of Pat's music. This album, while amazing, is such a hopeless and hateful and violent album. Over the course of his music, this band, Wingnut Dishwasher Union, and Ramshackle Glory, you can see his views change. You can see how he moves away from a paradigm centered around drugs and hate and escapism to sobriety, and compassion, and activism. It makes the Live the Dream album so much more powerful.
Fuck man my large group of friends in my teen years would drink ourselves into oblivion, and do drugs listening to this album. I'm 31 now 46 days clean working a honest N.A. 12 step program... Some are dead, M.I.A, current street junkies, mental hospitals, or on there way out. Here's to the best and worst time of my life. I miss you all.
Coming back to this album fills my head with everything representative of my youth, good and bad. I no longer have friends that feel the same way I do while listening. They aren’t buried, but they are certainly dead, in a sense Listen, god may shit in my dinner every other day, but he never expects a shit eating grin. I’ve hurt many who were deserving, and many who were not. I refuse to let things end without balancing out the karma. Keep hope, friends. Cavalry will come. If you have none, become it. God will shake your hand before you choke him out!
Definitely feel that, the friend who introduced this to me became addicted to meth and then started acting less and less like the person I became friends with, and to me, he's dead now.
Me, a friend, 2nd bottle of whiskey, in empty Black Rock Desert after all the burners have left, 3 A.M. with our coworkers asleep, blasting this on a PA system at the burning man staff camp, the past meaningless, and the future eons away, screaming along to this whole album. A magickal time.
I have been there man, me and my friends got super drunk and where stumbling throu the "good part of town" and where screaming whiskey is my kind of lullabi lol
There was a point in my life when I would listen to this album every night, and inevitably fall asleep during it. It became a routine and something I would look forward to. There were days, that became weeks and weeks that became months where listening to this album was the only thing I was really looking forward to. That time passed, but I come back to it every once in a while.
Used to listen to this on the metro on my way to high school with my CD player. It’s 2021, life is complicated. Tragedy after tragedy, and I can confirm it wasn’t a phase. Thank you Johnny
Likewise. I found this album as an 8th grader. I’m 2 years out of high school and I still find myself here. It’s weird seeing how many people he’s touched like me, and you
I don't know if u know this, and u prob do, the o only reason I'm commenting is in case u didn't know & I could (selfishly) tell u that his name is Patrick Shweenis & he made other amazing albums under Ramshackle Glory, Pat the Bunny, Wingnut Dishwashers Union and another collective called Skunk Ape Project ( or something like that lol) anyways yes he is quite powerful!!! Got us thru A LOT. Have the best day ever!!!
I used to be a train hopping, hitchhiking junkie. Played guitar on the street for cash and I played with Johnny and hung with him for a few days. He showed me this album and it has helped me through many hard times in my life. Love you Johnny, wherever you are much love and always keep Fuckin shit up!!!
I just found this album. I'm 31. I'm hopeless and lost and addicted and homeless and destroyed and mangled and tired and drunk too, but after hearing this, I vow to somehow never be sad again
Check out aome of there newer projects as well. ramshackle glory and wing nut dishwasher union are two bands after this. And Pat's solo stuff. Stay positive I hope all works out. Those helped me a lot in my struggle with addiction.
It was 3 years ago, I was listening to this in a squat I was living in. Broke as shit, no job but I didn't care because I was free. Not homeless anymore but sometimes I miss it. Things were simpler.
my first cassette recording of this album is so worn through from playing that you can hear the Jeffrey Lewis on the other side of the tape. That says a lot about this album. Also, it sounds great on cassette.
I just had a flood of great memories of this camping trip where everyone got day-drunk and stoned and screamed this entire album by the lake. Most of that group drifted apart, I might never be able to recreate something like that.
A good friend of mine showed me this album a few years back. It was his favorite thing to listen to any time we hung out. I find myself listening to it several times a week now. He passed away this morning, we dont even know why yet. But heres to you, Alex. I hope you find peace in whatever afterlife there is. Love you man. Wish i couldve gone out on the river and had one last beer with you. Im sorry i couldnt help.
Whoever you are, I love you and everything will be okay. Thinking about when I first listened to this 5 years ago, thinking about how sad I was and how addicted I was to so many substances and toxic people in my life. Everything works out in the end. Ive been homeless and near homeless, addict, shitty friend, but I've also been an anchor and a help for others. Now going back to school and working on my life and making amends. Life is worth living through all the good and bad Don't let anyone tell you different
This whole albums comment section is a beautiful thing. Focusing on the serious comments, this album has helped so many people get through the toughest of times. Me included, it's saved my life and pushed me through so much. Nothing makes me happier then seeing music unite people with sadness filled happiness.
Fucking A, man. This and Wingnut Dishwashers Union's "Never Trust A Man Who Plays Guitar" album were the soundtrack for my trip to rehab when I boarded the Greyhound to Flagstaff
I don't think that ppl who are not addicts understand that. My friend keeps telling me to stop listening to this because it encourages addiction. I don't have the words to explain to him that it actually helps me want to stop drinking.
I just recently discovered this album, and like many of you glorious bastards I'm going through the wringer. Who knew bad decisions as a freshman catch up to you senior year. So even though we all have bonded here through bad times I'm glad this music binds all of us good folk together. Godspeed guys and gals and good luck out there!
Two weeks ago I was listening to this at the local train station, drunk off my ass and all alone. I was contemplating jumping in front of the train... this album might just have saved my life that night. Edit: Not dead, but here I am drunk again.
Drunk off my ass alone is how I spend most weekends... if only we could all be drunk off our asses together... stay in the fight brother... even if it's just to observe
This is my other account. I am hopefully drinking my last Natty Daddy to go to sleep tonight. I am putting an end to the life of debauchery and hopefully moving into recovery tomorrow. One day at a time. Last Johnny Hobo listen and only Pat the Bunny from here on out. Peace and Anarchy forever!
Makes me think of this kid i talked to for a short while, struggling with H. He was so handsome dirty, broke. beautiful and free always caught a ride on the train. Barely know him but i still think about him to this day. He is currently MIA. Thanks for the good music Chris. Hope you're well.
the memories i get from this album is so crazy. waking up thinking of where to steal from for some bags for the day. now 6 years off the hard shit i still love to have a glass of whiskey and listen to this song. reminds me of days i miss but never want to relive.
All that got clean...proud of ya! All that couldn't...I pray for ya! 15 years sober. 42 next week. These bands and artists got me through a lot of hard times.
Gindnotmusic I used to hang out at this house at Michigan State University and we used to get black out wasted and scream this album on the roof of the house to anyone who walked by on the sidewalk
Found johnny hobo when i was 14-15 sleeping in a shed in my mums garden - i was going through massive mental crisis, not sleeping, hallucinating, dying in a suburban english town and i can honestly say it got me through all my teenage shit
This is the first time I have ever heard this. I am stunned. I don't know how I've survived the last 26 years not knowing that this existed. Beautiful angst. I can die happy know, and I hope that I am listening to this when I die.
I’ve been clean, sober, and stable for a year now. You can see Pat’s own journey through each of his albums and few things have made me feel more understood and eventually given me more hope. Thanks to all in these comment sections who have made me feel normal in a way
Trying to quit and having having a few beers to ward off the initial effects of opioid withdrawal. In the first 24 hours. Felt like hell until I consumed two beers and started listening to this album. Now, though it may be short-lived, I have faith and confidence that I can do this. This band will always, and has always, held a special place in my heart. I never reach out, but you all seem to be my people. If you have any words of encouragement or advice, please let me know. Despite my newfound confidence an credit euphoria, I know it won't last it won't be able to use this method much longer. Hope everyone's doing well
Hey man, hope you're still doing well. Only thing I can tell ya is that you can make it through this shit, and that you're not alone in it. Many people find their path out of addiction, and you're not an exception, you can make it! Wont be easy, it never is, but you'll get through it. focus on what you wan't in life, what you wanna change and how you wanna live it the good way. paint a picture in your head and make it sacred. hold on to it, no matter what. And most importantly, always remember: Shit is temporary. Everything is. Even if it sucks every bit of energy out of you, just remember what the goal is, and it will pass.
i love everyone who comes here, every once in awhile i find myself in the same spot, at least it looks like society is finally coming down this time, maybe we are about to build something beautiful in the rubble, that is all i pray for, meaning.
Listening to this album alone with cigarettes in an old cemetery in the middle of the night gives you a surreal feeling. Can’t even properly explain it.
I’m actually gravedigger. So I listen to this album often in cemeteries at night sometimes alone, sometimes not. I smoke a pipe now instead of cigarettes because it’s cheaper.I’ll just say, I miss planting trees and riding train.
Every time im about to be homeless/finally be man enough to off myself, this album comes up & i listen all the way thru, crying remembering all the time ive wasted addicted. Anyone still alive out there, idk if its worth it, but i love you. Someone does. Do it, dont do it, idk anymore. Satan bless pat
This is just reminding me of an old best friend, this is the sort of music we'd smoke and drink to where ever we could, they betrayed me but I still love and miss them, nobody else I know thesedays is like them, nothing hurts like losing a best friend...
but they forgot to mention the way the morphine makes the pain go away and how ill always remember the good times in my spine and the holes i burned in my brain
Saw Pat the Bunny and Wingnut at a hidden anarcho commune in Santa Cruz back in 2012, shit was so raw. Huge harmonies in a tiny living room, 40s everywhere, people shooting up outside casually, had my fucked up old GG allin shirt on... simpler times man, simpler times.
I've been listening to this upload for at least the last 5 yrs, but I remember this album specifically from 7-8 yrs ago. I've had kids, got sober, relapsed, sober, more kids and lost contact with the friends that id jam this album with. This one sends me back eveytime. Screaming along with at least one tear in each eye. Thanks bud.
I wish they released a compilation of Johnny Hobo songs, or at least a bandcamp or something with all of Pats old music, cause listening to them on RU-vid isn't all that great
At 16 I was sneaking drinks from my parents and listening to this At 17 I was drinking Whiskey left over from a party and listening to this At 18 I was downing cheap wine and crying over this Now at 19 I'm cracking open a few cans and reminiscing over this
@@ZackTheGiant I recently moved from Australia to England and working in a bar. 25 is a crazy year for me and from time to time I listen to all of Pats work :)
@@Puppy_Puppington a year ago i was drinking cider and spirits in a UK party town. Now im drinking Stout in the middle of buttfuck nowhere in Wales. I need to listen to pats work again, i need to reminisce about being 19 reminiscing of when i was 16
This is why Pat got sober because that shit will fucking kill you; slowly at first and then all at once. Its also why its his albums are better after he got sober. Mostly cause he improved but also because he got sober.
I don't usually comment on RU-vid videos, but I just want to say that I've been listening to this album for years now. I always thought it was great, but now that I've moved across the country and I'm surrounded by strangers, this album has never made more sense.
I cant even express how much this album helps me. I've listened to it more than 2 dozen times and im not stopping anytime soon. Here's to being dirty broke, beautiful and free.
This dude legit helped me threw active addiction and now helps me threw my recovery by reminding me in every line what I used to be like and the insanity of my addiction god bless this man and everyone who uses this music to get threw whatever they're going threw im 9 months clean now and can't imagine life without this man
