I have seen the future of rock and roll

and it’s name is Jospeh Linello.
Dude rocks like not only is there no tomorrow, but the veracity of today should be questioned. There’s no pretension between you the listener and Joey. He gives it up for you, and hard. His heart is torn asunder and presented to you to play with as you will. To do what you see fit. Joey doesn’t care. Joey is too sensitive for your cold, hard feelings anyway.
Pain is obviously Joe’s middle name. He’s felt the pain of life filtered through the business end of a filter made of despair and loss. He’s felt things that you and I can only thank our lucky stars or the heavens above that we’ve not felt. For Joey has and he’s remained strong. Stronger than the irons of the gods, stronger than the hottest steel from the forge of doom. Stronger than that.
You will listen to Joey and you might think that he’s a little rough. That maybe he’s not the best singer or the best guitarist. But you should think twice. You try to suffer the heartache that Joey suffers and then you will know. YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS TO SUFFER. And you will rejoice that you have heard Joey and that he has become a part of your life.
Onward Joey. Onward.
BTW: I’m reminded of the singer for Citizen Dick from Singles. Cliff Poncier is nearly in a league with our boy Joey. Nearly. Watch the clip below and judge for yourself. (Note: The quality of the clip is poor, but then we’re all spoiled rotten from Joey’s tunes so, pretty much everything looks and sounds rotten compared to him.)
