Cokie The Clown - Fair Leather Friends (Official Video)

[@jessedenison8115]

Only good thing about this pandemic is all the nofx i’v been listening to!!! My favorite band

[@MikeyMcKillYou]

Completely agree!!!

[@sicklillette]

Mine as well.

[@hankgege2199]

This is not nofx this is the solo artist called cokie the clown

[@fmpentertainmentmedley3338]

Mine too!!!

[@ragnarockdg-2327]

Exactly who is this nofx?

[@twodecline]

This morning on the drive to work the DJ introduced a song that I never thought I'd hear on the radio, in Japan. Stickin In My Eye! I couldn't turn the volume up loud enough, and it was only 5 am! That's what brought me here now. Thanks Fat Mike for getting me through another dreary day at work!

[@c7adventures376]

The vid for that song is great. It has lots of guys from other bands. Friends that got together for a fun video. Is that Shawn D. back there,?? Lol

[@patricknorth291]

I haven’t heard an album that hit me in the feels so hard such as this one. Mike is definitely not my role model but he is quite an influence, an inspiration, and an aspiration of what I wish more punk rockers would write. Fat wreck for life.

[@denniswoycheshen]

He's like that uncle that you mom hates to have around. He's like, an example of what not to do with your life, but also very much an example of what you should do. I can't even listen to half the album on purpose because the songs are hard to listen to. "That time I killed my mom" especially.

[@patricknorth291]

Dennis Woycheshen I like the analogy

[@skeptical-of-all1633]

Well said.

[@thewizardofcroagz394]

Yep. Listen nofx for 20 plus years. Most of which was So Long and before. Nothing like a depressed coked out clown that dresses like a lesbian....rip fatty rip....

[@marysullivan2884]

I feel like the release of their book opened the flood gates for Mike’s vulnerability and thought FDE was the most humble album. I obviously don’t know Mike personally, but it seems like he’s in a constant struggle to keep his life “punk” but desperately wants to feel “normal.” The dichotomy has always been there but it feels like as he gets older he just can’t reconcile the two anymore. I’ll forever love Mike and the undeniable affect he’s had on my life the past 25 years.

[@AP-dm3rr]

I love you Mike. You're one of the only artists that I still buy all you records. Keep on rocking that bass brother!!

[@Astrolux94]

I really love this song, the last line in particular. You're Welcome is honestly a masterclass in emotional songwriting.

[@matterman7662]

[@joshensey7041]

Loved this current ballad of pain...thank you Cokie.

[@nickerslarge3776]

One of fat mikes greatest songs. So well put together. And the little build up with the horns here 3:22 at the end give me goosebumps every time.

[@michaelnachvorne9250]

Wow, I just cried from listening to this beautiful, heartbreaking song

[@open24hoursOG]

Thought this song was about to start rocking out like 17 different times.... ...

[@Antartika18]

Lyrics* Princess Bride and True Romance were not just movies to me They gave me a feeling that true love is not just allegory Then I found out the hard way that happiness comes at such an incredible cost It took us so long to realize it was stolen from us, we had previously thought it was lost We took pride in being lepers and pariah royalty, Until we were turned into the people we weren't, from being shamed so unanimously No one could admire when we walked the highest wire from the ground it just looks cavalier Instead of cheering us on they pulled the net out to infect us with their envy and fear A beautiful woman with a heart of gold Was outcast because of what she sold When you're able sell the fulfillment of dreams People call it snakeoil money making schemes So fuck all of you that chose to stand above us And thanks to our friends that were there to love us And I'll call you all out cuz your indecency Comes from sexism, shame and clear jealousy And you're not getting off so easily We treated everyone good so we never understood why we became so hated was it because we saw the world differently and the absurd life we created The friends we could count on one hand turned into sand when we reached out Were all the laughs that we shared just canned, We never dreamed we'd ever have to live our lives without all of you And I guess I'm just naive, because I never expected That the woman I loved could be so disrespected By her fair leather friends dishonorable shit talkers And mine who are just conservatives that think they're punk rockers The truth is that they couldn't stand our sexual feats We soared on trapezes while they sat in cheap seats And the hardest part is when we lost the love we had Our so-called families said they're so sorry, but they're really just glad And how we both got had is so spectacularly sad That something that was once so perfectly euphoric Is now just a song that's painfully, historic But that's how life goes The most incredible ballerinas at some point have to take a bow Step down and realize that they'll never get on their toes again But how many people can say, they didn't just dance in, They lived a ballet

[@michaeldwalker8055]

[@aaronloftus9054]

One of my favourite songs from "You're Welcome"

[@stephengeorgeleguern1074]

You might not even read any of this I'm sorry, but I got a hard dose of truth from you that most are afraid to say when I know it myself so thanks and I have to live for this stuff. My golden heart is the only good thing about me and I have to protect it at all costs. Thanks again I'm touched..

[@TranzparentMethods]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! 25 years following a band that every 3 years it was, a new album, now it's who knows... It's NOFX under the guise of Cokie The Clown

This song is so raw, amazing, truthful, and depressing. This coronavirus pandemic is bringing out the dark side in so many of us.... Now I’ll just listen to one more song, as our mindless society, blindly follows into The Decline.

"The second song on that record is called “Fair Leather Friends.” When I moved to San Francisco with her [Soma], my best friends Eric Melvin and [manager] Kent [Jamieson], their wives and all my other friends treated her like a fucking whore. I mean, worse. I stopped getting invited out. I didn’t get invited to Tony Sly’s annual bonfire. I didn’t know about it until this year, when I got invited. "
