    That was one of the most honest, heartfelt sounding explanations I have ever heard.

    I had a chance encounter with Micheal in 2004 at a record shop near Lancaster Pa. He was shopping the hard rock lp section and the store owner told me who he was. Ironically in my purchase pile was a cd of Britny Fox's 1st album. Micheal was mad cool and signed it for me

    Well Johnny d I don't know if you're ever going to read this comment man but I love you guys. I've been listening to you guys for years and to this day I still listen to the songs. They're still in my Pandora playlist and I go back to them from time to time. Long way to live album I have that in my Pandora account and still love listening to it. I wish you guys could get it together and do some shows it would be really nice to see you guys out in the summertime heading over to socal. I remember seeing you guys last in 2016 over at hair Nation fest in Irvine California and I believe you showed up late to that event lol! But it's okay man it was great to hear the few songs you guys played in that whole day was fucking! Awesome. From 12:00 noon till 11:00 at night or maybe it was 12:00 at night a whole day of rock and roll. One of the best outdoor festivals I ever went to to this day and here we are in 2021 it's still ranks as the best festival to me by far. I miss you guys and I miss the band and you guys are needed out there more than ever. Please try to make things work out give it another shot. I know britneyfox.com is down unless somebody took over the domain name I don't know. I don't have any other way of getting a hold of you guys cuz I'm not part of Facebook or any social media other than me being on bands in town but I really want you guys to get back out there. Huge fan West Coast Ronnie here in SoCal.

    What was the main issue that lead to Dizzy leaving? Ego? Pride? Narcissism? Drugs and all 3 ?
    Even the boys from Oasis made it work for a half dozen albums before they called it quits and they would come to blows (while on blow) but they knew they had the world by the balls and road that gravy train to the ground. They ALMOST split after the first album. ALMOST

      Dean just needed to leave and move on. Honestly it’s sad but I don’t think the philly poofy hair era was for him. People wouldn’t accept that he wasn’t gonna go back to the hair and spandex days so that’s why he disappeared. I would love to see him onstage again but only if he wants to do it. No one should force him to do it.

      Dizzy might have made a little bit of money and he don't even know what he had. Maybe he's doing what he wants to do and that's great. But in today's market just think what he could do with the band. Selfish might be a good word to describe that

    MKS one the most under rated guitarists ever in my opinion, loved his work on every album. I still have them all, had to replace a few cassettes and CDs over the years L0L No one ever sounded right trying to copy Dizzy from first 2 albums, 3rd sounded great with Tommy.
