1 All Be Damned - This song is a quick rocker with a fast paced guitar solo and the lyrics talk about a man who is having the strangest day imaginable and every weird thin that can happen is happening to him. A powerful beat and a comedic element make this one a fun track to listen to.

2 Alimony Blues - Another fun one, this one is about a man who cant afford his lunch cause his money all goes to his wife who left him, lots of wordplay and jokes with a smooth blues riff that plays steadily into a solo towards the end.

3 Bitter Sweet Bliss - This is the standout track of the album, a rock song that is barren of flair and power its about a man who loses his loved ones but gains control of the world and the pain he still has no matter what he does. Suicide it the theme of the last verse. Powerful music that is plain and controlled but emphasis's the mood.

4 Time Left to Kill - This one is about an old man who thinks his life is pointless as he cant do what he used to love, until he decides that there is time left. This is a classic Rockers tune with the usual beat but with a twisty solo at the end that mixes things up.

5 Stars Shine Dim Tonight - This is a moving ballad about two who loved their whole lives but didnt realize it until they were 80 years old. A great little song that has power in the voice and piano.

6 Time for Me to Go - The goodbye song that explains it all. This song is about a man who realizes he is the reason for his wifes suffering and decides the right thing to do is to leave her be. A sad one but with some great guitar.

7 Powerful Love of Hate - A typical message song about Earth and People that pleas for forgiveness and love of each other, sounds like a Beatles tune.

8 People All Around - This is a song about the world we live in and how small we are. A man stands in a crowd and watches as people go about their lives. The singer describes different people and what they do wrong. Guitar solo that shred fast and hard with a drum beat that is strong and deep.

9 Half My Life Gone - Another sad one that explains Johnny Johnson's feeling on his life. Good and bad he sings about getting older, losing freinds and family but pushing forward. Smooth piano and a touching solo that sounds like the trickle of a stream.

10 Many Paths (The End is Everywhere) - The look on the future and what is to come. A smooth ballad about a man looking at his options and his roads he can take but always wanting the one he just got off of. This song is the epitome of 20 years of Rockers work and it blends every style they are known for and puts them into one farewell romp of a rock tune.

Check back on March 31st for the finale of The Rockers, their last concert! It will be great.

OOC: Seriously, its good.

"20 years? Shit, you guys started playing music when I was two years old. Anyways. I wasn't the biggest fan of The Rockers but you guys have done something right to have a loyal following for 20 years. That's a big thing to say and I respect you guys for that. I'm guessing the last 20 years have been a rollercoaster in the industry but to have constant success throughout it is big. So, I gotta give Johnny and the rest of the guys due respect for that. Plus you guys are walking into the sunset at the height of the mountain so that's big to say alone."

Tim Dunn: I have to say, I remember when the Rockers first came onto the scene. I didn't really like them and didn't think they would have the longevity or the success they ended with. They are one of the finest examples of a small band going from the bottom with little critical or commercial success to the top. Congratulations on all the achievements during your careers.

Kathy: I have much more greater respect for a band like this. A band that doesn't have to pull a publicity stunt or call people out to get notcied and sell records. This band has stayed true to their music and that's what I respect. Long live "The Rockers"!

NEWS

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,

For those who are reading this I guess you should know why any news on The Rockers is available considering we split up a while ago. The truth is my solo project has come to a screeching halt as Jack Jameson, my co singer and guitarist has taken ill and is in the hospital. Unfortunately he will not be getting out in the foreseeable future. He has contracted liver cancer and they don't know if he is going to make it....

I guess I should give a statement on the recent passing...of my wife Stephanie Fierce...words cannot express my pain and sorrow as I look at the dark days ahead of me and I hope to be able to carry on without her...though it will not be an easy task. My life has never been roses and now it seems the last petal has fallen from the final rose...I will admit that I did things I'm not proud of after losing her and the child we were to have together. Failed attempts at suicide and waking up in a river by my house are just some of the things that have woken me up. I think God has given me a purpose in life and always have. I used to think it was Stephanie and the family we were to have...I guess that was wrong...instead I am devoting my time and life into music and music only...it is the only thing that gives me hope...comfort...and a faint bit of happiness.

That is why this announcement is being made. I have called up Joey, and Randy and George too and we have decided to work on some new stuff while Jack is in the hospital. We have been talking frequently since Stephanie died and have come up with a few great ideas and after a long decision making process have decided to send The Rockers back to the studio. Leaving it at 13 albums seems to have been a bad idea as luck has not been in my favor, which is why on Christmas Eve, The Rockers 14th studio album will be released worldwide for everyone to hear. More news will be here soon about the tracks, art, and more.

Life has taken many twists in my roads and I feel an urgency now. Something has changed and I think a horizon is still waiting for me somewhere. My faith has been healed and my mind is at ease. This is what I was meant to do.

Keep Rocking,
John A. Johnson

Johnny we know you were the best husband you could be and we’re happy for your amazing progress. Stay strong man. Let the music be your healing. Stay strong for us. You're an amazing person. – Jennifer

Keep Rocking,

1. The World I Knew

2. It All Comes Back

3. Leaders of the Pack


Message from Johnny:

This thing with The Bards is funny, they threaten to retire when they lose this war...anyone can tell that its just a publicity stunt. Those boys are going to retire because they cant draw any money to keep them going anymore...never could actually. They are smart though because they know that the disgrace that awaits them will hinder them unrecoverable.
