I know those guys pretty well. Well I don’t know Lou, but all the others in the Dino Jr. and Fog camp. All I can say is, they were all so young when things started happenin’ for Dino. I mean lets face it, Dino Jr. was J’s band, period. It seems to me that Lou, being a creative and talented songwriter himself, had a hard time dealing with that fact. J obviously had a hard time dealing with Lou having to come to terms with his limited involvement in the songwriting. So Lou got booted. Seems simple to me. Lou went on to create some important music. Perhaps his Dino Jr. heartbreak was just what the doctor ordered to spark some creative juices. I think both parties got a lot more than they originally thought they would ever get from a career in music.
As for Murph. Well, he just couldn’t hang. He got tired of the business. The band was getting too big to have a drummer that wasn’t into the game anymore.
J and Murph are both good guys. J has defenitly grown up alot over the last few years. I’m sure if J had to do it all over again, he would have been a bit more careful as to try and not make people as hurt. But given those guys age at the time of the split, it went as smoothly as it could. Let’s face it, for us fans it just gave us more records to enjoy.
