It’s a clever idea to restrain Joey with a straitjacket; the man is a beast on the mic, after all. Does this up the ante on Padded Room for you now more than ever?

I wonder how many songs from The Growth will make it onto the new set. Ahh, speaking of The Growth, anyone remember when magazines were reviewing that album and had people salivating? That bad boy was so TBA’d that Amazon famously listed its release date as December 2020. Oh, what amazing foresight they must have over there. The age-old label politics excuse, which is industry synonym for “your album is lame and it’s not worth wasting our budget on” eventually got in the way.

OK, I’ll stop before Joenibbal Lecter comes knocking on my door.
