Mike & Dennis of the Smithereens hung out with Varacchi & Andy Chase to talk about the NJ Hall of Fame, the late great Pat DiNizio, and more! See the whole interview here.
I can't claim to own the Smithereens' entire discography, and I'm too young to have experienced them in their heyday, but hearing about the death of Scotch Plains' Pat DiNizio, the band's lead singer, on Tuesday hit me unexpectedly hard.
A Go Fund Me page has been set up to help defray the costs of Pat DiNizio’s recent surgery and physical therapy for his right arm and hand. Here’s the story from Pat about his injury and how the Go Fund Me effort came about.
