Running Man's Bible

Drew Olson writing for OnMilwaukee.com, in a very brief tribute to Howie, quotes Tom as saying "I'd always wanted to deal with Howie's death, and there's some of that in there. One of those embarrassingly revealing songs. It just crept into my mind one day. I was playing the guitar, and it started falling out." It’s also important to note the wording Tom uses; “there's some of that in there”. So I wouldn’t go so far as to say “This song is about Howie Epstein” but when you dig into the lyrical content, I think you can see a very easy connection to anyone who is dealing with addiction.

Drew Olson writing for OnMilwaukee.com, in a very brief tribute to Howie, quotes Tom as saying "I'd always wanted to deal with Howie's death, and there's some of that in there. One of those embarrassingly revealing songs. It just crept into my mind one day. I was playing the guitar, and it started falling out."


It’s also important to note the wording Tom uses; “there's some of that in there”. So I wouldn’t go so far as to say “This song is about Howie Epstein” but when you dig into the lyrical content, I think you can see a very easy connection to anyone who is dealing with addiction.
