Butch was a good buddy of mine. On 4/19/84 he was a passenger on a bike like the one pictured. Our buddy Rick Green was driving, he had just bought the bike, too. Butch didn’t have a helmet. They were behind us, and we were between night clubs. I can’t remember the name of the place, but we had just left a strip joint out near Sand Island, Oahu and were headed into Waikiki. They wrecked. Rick broke his leg in a few places, they never charged him, he was lucky because from what we had heard it was Rick’s fault. Butch was thrown and hit his head on the curb. I’ll never forget it as long as I live. He was lying there with a red line beneath the skin on his forehead.

This was Butch’s favorite song. MTV was new and whenever this vid came on he’d be like “Turn that up!”
