He was my radio colleague and friend at XM radio in New York in the mid-2000's. His talent, wit, and intelligence never faltered. This band, and this song, this performance; spot-on. Damn. We lost one of New Jersey's- and America's- great rock and roll poets. Rest in peace, Pat. Thank you for posting this, Tim.

He lost everything with his health issues. Some say he was homeless. I do know the band continued to play with him and donated all monetary to DiNizio upon his death. Every show was like an unadvertised benefit for Pat. He suffered badly.

Great memories of seeing the band at The Strand, The Roxy, & the original House of Blues on Sunset in SoCal. I just can’t watch this band without Pat. Marshall Crenshaw was great in the 80s but to hear him fronting the Smithereens just makes me think tribute band and his voice isn’t what it used to be. RIP Pat. You were amazing. Can hardly wait to hear the all star band in the next life😎👍

It's been almost 20 years since that night in 2002 & I still remember it, BECAUSE THE SMITHEREENS WERE JUST THAT DAMN GOOD!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.
