When I listen to the first lines:

I read the paper just the other day
About a buddy of mine who headed to an early grave


and with the knowledge that this song was written what became Crush...from the first time I heard this song 14 years ago I imagined that this buddy was Bruce Fairbairn and this song was Jon's reaction to his sudden death, remembering the time before Slippery.

What are your thoughts on this one?
Here's Jon's words:

Richie and I wrote Garageland in New Vork City in my apartment. We were writing for Crush. We'd talk about where we came from and where we were going to. And it was an early song written for Crush but because the subject matter had been written before in a number of songs over the years, it didn't make it. But when I hear it now, I go, "Gee, this could have made it". It really was just about us and where we came from. But it was more important with Crush to talk about where we were going to. A lot of the garage bands are coming back which is exciting to me. When I hear bands that are really singing and playing and are making music that they want to sing and are reminiscent of the influences that I had as a kid, I get it. If you'd asked me two years ago what was my advice, I'd say sing a song, learn an instrument, write about what you know - don't worry about how may sit-ups can you do and how flat your belly is. The video era, as The Buggles once said, killed the radio star - they killed the imagination. But I think that there's a return to it again which is exciting to me because there's an opportunity for a band to grow as a band. Go out there on the road and become one - where each of the members of the band is as important as the next. And that's what Garageland was about. Longevity is virtually impossible these days. For a band to have three records before they have any real success the way we did? But I do believe that there's an opportunity that some of these bands are gonna shine.

I do think this "buddy" could be Bruce, but he doesn't say it, so who knows.

Right, I know this quote, that's why I asked for your thoughts and not for band statements
Besides Jon tells different stories in different years about same songs

Ah, sorry for not get it well

But yes, we can't trust in Jon because he contradicts himself a lot of times.

Live In London 1995 has just been on TV.
Forgot how genuinely good it is. 'Faith', 'Wanted', 'Hey God', 'Blaze', 'Lay Your Hands'...incredible.
