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
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
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
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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...
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'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 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.
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
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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
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
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.
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
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 found this album in high school when I was associating with an ever darkening cloud of influence, I knew people who were addicts and didn't initially believe them when they told me not to live like they did. I credit them and these songs for keeping me out of that lifestyle. Now everyone I knew back then is clean; mostly by their own choice, but too many by their absence. If you're listening, you can be strong, and you can be loved.
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
Can never forget stumbling across this exact video a few months after it was uploaded. Crucial in forming my love for DIY culture. Thanks Horace & Pat :)
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
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
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
Coming back to this album after not listening to it for a couple of years, when I used to listen to it every morning and night from the age of fourteen till 19. I couldn't hold back tears and now I remember all our activist purposes
I feel like the luckiest person alive. I just found this album. It's perfect. I looked for music for a revolution my whole life, now I just need a revolution.😏
Sober 100 days when this was my first and last album I’d listen to on repeat when drinking, there’s hope friends #chooselife like Pat did, I love you all
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.
It's through the howling lyics of Pat, that i found my place in the world, that i found a way to channel my anger at the world into activism. His, at points depressing, lyrics made me wish for a better world that wasn't given to us. i now give all i can in my young years to changing what i see as wrong.
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.
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 don't usually comment on TH-cam 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.
this album is heartbreakingly beautiful to me. this is the album i listened to everyday through my trauma.everyday for 2 years while my boyfriend beat and raped me. and now im free from that relationship, im still addicted to this music. it brings me comfort by blocking out the world around me.
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.

I’ve also experienced similar reactions from train kids.
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.
I don't have a word to say how much I love this album. Drunk or not. Homeless or not.
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.

Hope you're doing well. Congrats on hitting 90 and now 100, proud of you
Keep at it bro
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.

I want to travel so badly. but have no idea what to do or what I need.
+Isaac Ramos similar to what you'd bring camping. Although if you really wanted to, you'd just go
+Coffe soy I would, but I have too many ties. my one year old daughter, I've gotta take care of. so maybe once she's 18 I can.
+Isaac Ramos Traveling isnt as fun as you think, there are a lot of dangers behind it. trust me, I've experienced it.
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
This is numbing the depression tonight. Thanks Pat, for the years of knowing someone gets it.
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.
Idk man after rehab he's just not the same.
Fucken A man, his whole discography is basically a 3-part story
@@deadmanmouse2463 and it's a damn good thing. Not doing heroin tends to change a person.
This just makes me more fascinated. Great
hope is the first step on the road to disappointment
1.1 million would be impressive if I didn’t know it was 100,000 people or so who’ve listened a million times
i mean you’re right i think ive contributed like 20 views in the past five days
That's not how the views work. It's one for each account.
@@hellashott No it is not. I frequently recheck my videos because I love viewing my like count. Every time I leave the page a new view is counted.
Yeah I've contributed so many views
100,000 x 1,000,000 = 1,100,000. math checks out.
You really don't find this album, it finds you
that is so right, i found it randomly in my recommended and jesus christ did it change my life or what
Yeah I just accidentally clicked on this in the recommended and listen to the whole thing
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.
Cheers to that shit with my space bag
Ikr!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Roanoke that was beautiful. Thank you.
Great quote. Wrote it in my little book of quotes.
Thank you
really nice idea.Going to get myself a little book of quotes
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.
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.
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.
dilldshs good luck on getting clean
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 :)
+dilldshs It's been 2 years since you've commented this, did you get through rehab? did you make any friends there that you still talk to?
Graham Kellner where did you hear he passed away
@@grahamkellner3937 NUH UH!
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.
Thinking of you! Love you, friend.
I guess I'm glad Pat finished healing and became a whole and stable person or whatever.
I've never gotten past this album, myself.
:/
Praying for ya brother
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.
JAY RILLA here’s hoping, dude.

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...
These albums are my favorite...who doesn't like alcoholism, drug abuse and nihilistic self loathing.
@DogMe4t
Probably, can’t relate
I'm more of an absurdist man myself but same principle
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.
Every time I’m drunk or sad I have the urge to come back to this album. It’s just too good.
Thats for sure
I come to listen to this at least once a day or so, can't ever get enough.
@@maxolotl3622 I feel ya

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.
Fuck.
Johnny Hobo is always there when you're feeling shitty.
I fuckin feel this
+Ulysses Gravenstein or nfox, fuck i love punk
+xHUSKYx117 Ghost Mice, Daze n Daze, and AJJ are also pretty good.
***** fucking ghost mice XD so bloody good that band tho aye
maybe that's why I'm always listening to them
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.
I feel you man, wasted and screaming along to pat with mates. unforgettable moments.
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
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.
That says a lot about you
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.
I hate how they only made 1000 physical copies of this masterpiece.
kinda raises the resell value
It's pretty stupid though. The guys who resell this shit don't need the money. Pat hasn't got a house
@@stevedoe6470 Makes me feel bad i gotta pirate it to listen outside of youtube :/
@@miniroid7 Pat put all his music up for free before he retired.

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.
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!
I hope u get through whatever ur going through my love!
@@idkwhatuwantfromme thank you so much
It only gets worse.
This album got me out of bed this morning.
Lol
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.
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.
Welcome to the hidden world of Pat The Bunny
I just discovered this TODAY.... wtf
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.
Pat the Bunny.
It's not easy but it can be done. Only one day at a time. Hope you find happiness and things turn around
You can’t do that. Without sadness there is no happiness. It’s just one of the cards in the shittty hand we’re dealt due to existing type deals.
Im 31 years old now. Heard this when i was 19 and im still in love with it.
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
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 album will never get old
and in my dreams, i am dirty, broke, beautiful and free
I read your comment right as it got to that part omg
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.
The emotion in the lyrics is undeniable and contagious
Pat and Erik were some of the best musicians ever, it's impossible to move on from them
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

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 hope your doing well man.
I was sober all morning before I woke up this afternoon lol such a great line I smile everytime
couldn't tell you how many times ive listened to this album.
I just found this band while contemplating running away. Great fucken music. I’ve been homeless a couple times not for long... but I just wanna go
Fuckin do it. Hitch out. Youll be ok.
I found this album in high school when I was associating with an ever darkening cloud of influence, I knew people who were addicts and didn't initially believe them when they told me not to live like they did. I credit them and these songs for keeping me out of that lifestyle. Now everyone I knew back then is clean; mostly by their own choice, but too many by their absence. If you're listening, you can be strong, and you can be loved.
This is the best punk album ever. It never gets old
I think this is the most civil comment section I've ever seen on a punk video.
Good job guise.

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

Can never forget stumbling across this exact video a few months after it was uploaded. Crucial in forming my love for DIY culture. Thanks Horace & Pat :)
I couldn't count the number if times this album has saved my life.
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

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
Coming back to this album after not listening to it for a couple of years, when I used to listen to it every morning and night from the age of fourteen till 19.
I couldn't hold back tears and now I remember all our activist purposes
smoked my first cigarette to this song, and this is what I'll smoke my last one too I bet.
Listening to this album was like falling in love with punk all over again
A great thing about this band is that you can sing to their songs while ill and it sounds okay.
I feel like the luckiest person alive. I just found this album. It's perfect. I looked for music for a revolution my whole life, now I just need a revolution.😏
"I'll drink myself to death or at least I'll drink myself to sleep" either one works for me.
I love that whenever I come back to this video there’s always new comments about how much of an impact it’s had on people’s lives. ❤
Sober 100 days when this was my first and last album I’d listen to on repeat when drinking, there’s hope friends #chooselife like Pat did, I love you all
Sounds like trash. I love it
That's what we all think ain't it?
I first heard this album when I was 16 and I’m 23 now. It hit closer to home back then but it’s still a great album!
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.
Here’s to our lives being meaningless, and how beautiful it is, because freedom doesn’t have a purpose.
I want to hug you
Life's like the feeling when you had a point, but forgot it...
But I prefer the beauty of my chaos over anyone elses perfection
My first tattoo out of rehab was that quote
It's through the howling lyics of Pat, that i found my place in the world, that i found a way to channel my anger at the world into activism. His, at points depressing, lyrics made me wish for a better world that wasn't given to us. i now give all i can in my young years to changing what i see as wrong.
This album makes me feel a way no other music can make me feel
8 years after upload and I'm still playing this in my car while driving to my job. Times change, people change, but the past doesn't.
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 sure the ghosts of those who resided there enjoyed the hell outta that!
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.
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.🔥🤘
