I actually already have a song which really is my tribute to Jon and Richie for their influence in my song writing and 'raising' me with their music. Recorded a demo version of it a couple of years ago...

RAISED BY ROCK & ROLL

Morning rolls around - I’ll be still in bed
Won’t get up till noon - A party’s in my head
Out last night, Can’t remember where
Had a great time, So I really don’t care

Father’s on the phone
To the preacher he calls
Mom is convinced
To the devil I fall
Everybody talks
They talk about me
I don’t give a damn
Its me I gotta be

Give me some space – raise a little hell
Lend me your ear - Got a story to tell
Not your average Kid – Known it all along
Born of Man – Raised by Rock & Roll

Music’s been my language
From the cradle to the stage
Call it what you want
Its more than just a phase
I have done my time
I have paid my dues
This is what I want
This is what I choose

Give me some space - Raise a little hell
Lend me your ear - Got a story to tell
Not your average Kid - Known it all along
Born of Man - Raised by Rock & Roll

Living through my headphones
I’ve been breathing through my mike
I’m destined for stardom
You say what you like
I ain’t got no grudges
I ain’t got complaints
I’m living in my own world of
Six and four string saints
