You gotta wonder what Gary thinks when they play this song does he still feel the other guys around him or maybe even see them every once and a while , I get chills every time I hear this song I wasnt even thought of in 77 but damnit man i grew up in the wrong generation!

Yeah I have always wondered that too. It must feel weird to be the last survivor of the original band. He's outlived them all, his 2 best friends RVZ & Allen. Esp with Allen you could tell how close they were & how much they loved each other & Ronnie was their brother, father figure, mentor. If you think abt it though he has been with Ricky & JVZ for decades but the original guys were such magic together & just the times they struggled, I know they fought but that workin & strugglin to make it bonds you. I am glad that Ricky is honoring Allen the way he does & glad it is him carrying the torch since he was with them in the early days & how better to sing than Johnny. Whwn he 1st took over, he sounded so much like Ronnie but over the years he sounds less like that but my guess is way Johnny sounds today is very similar to the way Ronnie would sound today. Thanks for sharing this, very cool
