about

Glendy on cello.

lyrics

The sight of him was so incongruous
He always had a cigarette
I guess he smoked too much.

Julian was always talking about G&R
Hung his hair over his face
And Slashed away at his guitar.

(chorus) Whatever happened to Julian?
Whatever happened to him?
Whatever happened to Julian?
He could’ve been our friend.

You had to knock a lot to wake him up to let you in
You thought he was a junkie
But it was just insulin.

He shot up every morning to keep his blood sugar low
Then a beer and some Velveeta
And he was ready to go.

Whatever happened . . .

Did Julian ever tell you he was born in Germany?
Came over to attend an elite university.
His father have him money for food and books and rent
But on smoke and amplifiers the old man’s cash was spent.

Could you believe his apartment?
Man, what a sty.
He wore those groovy glasses
He was illegally blind.
His room was covered wall to wall
With Playboy poster girls
He painted his basement neon black
With pink and purple swirls.

Whatever happened . . .

He said he’d pay me Thursday for a Strat the store was holding
Last I heard he was moving out and all his stuff got stolen.
Yeah, he still owed me forty bucks; I guess I’ll never see it
Julian wasn’t such a bad guy; he really didn’t mean it.

Whatever happened . . . ?

We are five dudes who love to play music. We’re all fathers, some more sage than others. Also I love the smell of wild sage. We are:
Jim Hart (keyboards and vocals); Alex Hershey, Esq. (guitar that leads); Dr. Joy (bass and vocals); Douglas King (guitar and vocals); Alan Mosovsky (drums).
We play a tasteful blend of originals and covers, in the style of The Byrds, Wilco, and Neil Young.
