Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains playing "Acid Song"

[rheannuhh]

i hate when people are at shows and they admire the people so much that they laugh at everything the artist says. get off his Johnston.

[dsd68073]

@rheannuhh most of the people at his shows back then where his close friends and biggest fans

[rheannuhh]

@dsd68073 I'm saying...people in general. it happens all the time. like in the info it says she doesn't know why she was laughing so much, but people ALWAYS do that shit at shows. dude says one thing not even relatively funny and people start pissin their pants laughing. still doesn't explain why their dick ridin...

[BringTheFunkSon]

[cancermike63]

[misfits319]

Pat's new music is alright, but i'd way rather prefer to see him live in his Johnny hobo days. :)

[papashangofan]

@misfits319 Same bro, used to get the cum outta my balls!

[heapdunk]

top is a cheap brand of rolling tobacco that also makes pretty much any cigarette accesories you can think of (rolling machines, tubes, papers, etc.). its what you smoke when yer broke :)

[reapingpunish69]

awesong make mor ei killed a goat today on acid

[ShiningSta18486]

[chinoedk]

I remember watching this back in my freshman year. Damn I fucked up back then.

[katelovesyou666]

[BrianFarmar]

[siddoii]

Man, It's been one year yesterday! I hope this amazing dude starts up a band when he gets out! I swear, I'd give my last fuckin' stoogie to spend five mintues with him!

[Elba951]

@FopeDarmer

[TheKatbastard]

Top is a brand of cigarette tabbaco and papers

[pot4tots]

this guy is a fuckin badass

[amelieboots]

top is a brand of rolling tobacco... and pat the bunny is johnny hobo. and wingnut dishwashers union.

[Janiceofcourse]

@anarkaradica Top is a brand of cigarette rolling papers. So, no, it's not slang.

[stairjump]

@Janiceofcourse THANK YOU! I have wondered what that means for so long

[badreligion3333]

@Janiceofcourse its a brand of tobacco as well

[anarkaradica]

can someone please explain to me what 'top' is slang for (sit and roll some top)?

[Rmossburg]

when does he get out of rehab, i need to go see him...

[joeydsteez]

@Rmossburg I think december 20th or something.

[theoneandonlymrthc]

[LemurDeCatta]

@theoneandonlymrthc

[theoneandonlymrthc]

[LemurDeCatta]

[professionallynasty]

Sounds like his testicles haven't dropped yet.

Pretty 'clean' looking if you ask me....for a hobo I mean.

[Mccampbellthomas]

he is unfortunately in rehab, he'll be in there for a year, he may not do anymore music when he gets out, check up on his website

[hombredelaguitarra]

[Elba951]

[Judger333333]

@Elba951  johnny hobos dead :( but wingnuts lyrics are better

[Elba951]

@Judger333333

yeah i gave wingnut a seond chance and i like it better hahaha.

[xen0saga]

@Elba951 same person dumb ass.

[Elba951]

@xen0saga

No shit, I was talking about the style of the music but hey, thanks for catching on douchebag.

[blindlemonlipshitz]

i dunno i think hell be back

[blindlemonlipshitz]

oh wow hes gonna be gone for a year

[Ras513]

Depressing, right? D:

[ErieParties]

Please see what alex Jones says about Anarchists.

CIA tools are Anarchists

[444DeanMachine]

shut the fuck up!

[dauniversalcynic]

Alex Jones is a tool, and someone with no expertise, to tell anyone who an anarchist is and isn't.

Small groups of feds try to infiltrate anarchist actions. Yes some get through, some get thrown out upon the realization they are indeed provocateurs, that doesn't mean the movement is made up of only feds.

Alex Jones has never done and will never do anything besides yell into a bullhorn, mob a camera and microphone, and do google news searches.

Please ignore Alex Jones, it just encourages him.

[ErieParties]

@dauniversalcynic you must be one of them space bag drinkers .

[blindlemonlipshitz]

I like it better because of the trumpets, but I dislike the album with the drum machines. WDU is just him though, which is nice, but on a shitty recording.

[DroogMonkey]

yeah i hate that drum machine thing. Love songs for the apocalypse is the shit though. greatest album ever

[blindlemonlipshitz]

here here, i hope he makes more good recordings

[mcblazin090]

I like Johnny Hobo better than Pat the bunny and wingnut dishwater union

[booshish]

i dont get it he says he stops writing music for this project because hes not straight edge yet most of his songs are about alcohol and drug use?? did i get that right or am i wrong i read it somewhere but i dont know how i feel about wingnut dishwashers union ehhhhh i like it when hes depressed

[fuckyou11275]

im pretty sure he was never straight edge.

[DroogMonkey]

hes in rehab at the moment. he said he might not play punk anymore :(

[etomige]

hey, yeah  mofocutthroat (lol) we can leave

meow meow for vermont!!!

[mkehandgrenades]

this uy sings straight from tthe heart =)

[GraffSupplyReviews]

did any one hear that he's straight edge now? he goes by like Pat the bunny or somthing

[ImYourFreakShow]

He's not straight edge. Pat the bunny is his nickname. His real name is pat. And listen to wingnut dishwashers union. Thats him. He's amazing in both bands. He hasnt been Johnny hobo for awhile now.

[GraffSupplyReviews]

he's not? i was on his myspace and he said he was straight edge, maybe not idk

[JSNate]

He's not straight edge. Just because you don't drink or do drugs etc. doesn't mean you're straightedge. You can find him under "Pat The Bunny" or "Wingnut Dishwashers Union". :)

[skimmer538]

does anybody know the chords to this song?

[Subvertia]

I can't wait to run into him again!!

[8bitsexscene]

lol i love how much he fucks up live. fucking badass.

[Oniangie]

God I am in love with this man.

[lifeisublime]

ooooh whippits :)

[SkUmDiCtAtOr]

they forgot to say how the morphine takes the pain away n ill always remember the good times in my spine n the whole i burned in my brain with this next line

[Ranciddistortion121]

No they didn't

[ItsJohnnyAppleseed]

I think skumdictator was trying to quote the lyric, and misquoted.

It's "They forgot to mention the way", not....what you said.

[kylekrauskopf]

better than like heroin or some shit

[wC340]

hes a fucking horrible guitar player he tunes his guitar in the middle of the song.. fail

[OneLove159]

he does what he can.

i think he does a great job :)

[reaperofsilk]

ok so the Wc here you apparntly

never played guitar

or

had a chord go out of tune

or for that matter have a string break

wow you must be an amazing guitar player

bt wait you dont play

[CloudMeetsSky]

just because he isnt the greatest guitar player doesnt mean he's not a really good musician, i personally love his stuff

[Nocashstyle]

And for those who gave me a thumbs down don't get me wrong I love Johnny Hobo and punk and folk punk music. I just wanted to point out some hypocrisies

[Nocashstyle]

Who doesn't?

[Foogayzee]

most of the people who commented this said things i agree 100% with.

Public education is just another way for the government to steer us in the "right" direction.

Hitchhiking and "punk" is frowned upon because it's not normal.

Punk is about saying no to your boss. It's about doing what YOU feel is right.

The ability to learn is an AMAZING thing people take for granted.

[Imbetterthanyou1980]

Punk is not having a boss to say no to.

[Nocashstyle]

Because if you are dropping out of school to be free and to not conform to what the public education system tells you yet you get most of your ideas through lyrics its the same thing. It's still not thinking for yourself especially if you're not even 14 yet.

[Nocashstyle]

You really can't base your life off of lyrics man.

[apathyisignoranc]

u can base it off a variety of ideas which is what lyrics are arent they?

[JamesDisaster]

Nor can you by paraphrasing SLC punk lines.

[Nocashstyle]

I've actually never seen that movie so it's pretty difficult for me to paraphrase it. I used to be into all this shit and as I got older and seeing my friends get hooked on drugs and become more depressed than they were before I just grew out of it. I also realized how hypocritical kids can be by just listening to lyrics for their source of knowledge.

[JamesDisaster]

Tru dat.

[daugtrjudie]

Pat the Bunny no longer plays any of his johnny hobo songs He says that while he is not straight-edge he got done being miserable all the time- johnny hobo is dead that part of his life over. Kids use far worse things than lyrics for a source of knowledge and too often we can forget that music is not meant as a tool for learning or a means of inspiration it's a reflection of the human condition. I think these songs are a testament to the spiritual evolution that a person can endure.

[Nocashstyle]

Well said

[Jesustheanti]

@daugtrjudie

"A punk rock song won't ever change the world, but I can think of a few that changed me"

Music is a great means of learning sir. Think about the ABCs they were easier to remember with melody. Not to mention all the political bands out there trying to educate people and uplift the people who are already hip to revolutionary ideas. TL;DR I disagree.

[YouGotSubbed]

@Jesustheanti What's TL;DR mean?

[bauerdude212]

@YouGotSubbed To long; didn't read.

[bauerdude212]

@YouGotSubbed Eep! Sorry! To*o* long, didn't read. Couldn't let that typo go =P

[shouldofstayedin]

as a traveler, squatter, tramp whatever you wanna call it i'll tell you right now there's no better time than today. if you procrastinate it'll never happen. it doesn't matter if you're a harvard graduate or a first grade drop out, it's all about your ability to keep your head in shitty situations. public education serves no purpose but to perpetuate class order and rape you of your individuality so you'll live the american dream and be just like everyone else. i don't need

[mofoCutThroat]

I don't know man, I sure do like reading. And being able to compute whether the 40 oz or the pint has more booze per dollar spent.

Public education was free, and aided me in learning those things.

You're almost right. I wish the individuality stripping wasn't a part of public school, but it's a part of most social interaction. Such is human nature. All we can do is resist. Or leave.

[shouldofstayedin]

their fabricated history and bullshit mindwash that they're paid daily (when you're there) to feed us. that's why we're required by law to go. you don't need a job or an "education" to be successful or free.

freedom's fucking free and that's the only way it can be without losing all it's authenticity

privilege isn't freedom, it's just a lousy trade

they can't promise our tomorrow so why give them our today?

[TwoFatFucks]

You don't have to be uneducated to be punk.

Stay in school, man.

Learn what you can while it's free to learn.

Learn for the sake of learning.

You don't have to want to go to college or get a high paying job in order to still want to learn.

I make all A's, and I have absolutely no interest in getting any sort of job after highschool, or going to college.

I plan on being a squatter for much of my life.

I strongly recommend that you finish school.

[KenCat1337]

I dropped out of school TO get educated.

Sure, I had good grades but it was a socially constrictive environment where I couldn't learn anything useful.

Don't let schooling interfere with your education!

Wage peace,

make love.

[dalty28]

ya, he must have some money tho from his songs now right?

[TwoFatFucks]

The folk punk scene isn't a wealthy one.

He sells all of his stuff on a sliding scale, which means you pay what you want to pay.

He makes very little profit off of his merchandise, including cds.

And he plays shows for fairly cheap, and a place to crash for the night.

He's dirty, broke, beautiful, and free.

I truly envy his lifestyle, and hope my life after highschool is anything like his life.

[Daniel0A8]

Same. Only one year left after this one is over, hopefully I'm unemployed by then rather than still working at Australia zoo.

[TwoFatFucks]

I've only got one more year left, too.

Don't lose sight of what freedom really is. Poverty as an aesthetic is getting worn out. It seems that so many people have forgotten that financial destitution is not the POINT of freedom, but rather a CONSEQUENCE of seeking it.

[Second comment. This paragraph won't fit in one comment.]

[TwoFatFucks]

There is value in knowing what it means to be hungry but, as anyone who grew up learning it can tell you, any knowledge you gain from short-term exposure to this branch of human experience diminishes the longer you spend unable to escape it.

Stay free.

[dalty28]

i am being dead seroius

[ricochet3212]

He kinda is, I've talked to him. He squats and everything. He's a cool dude.

[kdkdkdkdkdkdgggggfgf]

youre stupid.

[dalty28]

hey do u think he really was a hobo before

[LENIN990]

Where was this recorded?

[requiredforusanduk1]

i love this guy

[marcriganoskate]

"If I found God anywhere, it would be by the tracks".

this video is on a person's myspace. that person was hit by a train and died.

isn't that a coincidence?

[kdkdkdkdkdkdgggggfgf]

face down in a boxcar, 40 in both hands.

[Ranciddistortion121]

No fuck off.

[zombiflesheater6]

[WyattNight]

[TwoFatFucks]

Nope. He performs as Wingnut Dishwashers Union now.

[waitingforthegift]

[badreligion3333]

i dont like them so much its too quiet for me not loud and quick enough there were one or two i liked but not so much, not that the music sucks thats definitally not the case but its not my cup of tea hes a good songwriter just the new ones arent my bag

[Rebiggenator]

I am so happy to see so many videos of these guys online. I spent most of last summer drinking to a CD of theirs after I saw them...they're so genuine :) Last I heard dude doesn't own a guitar, he just plays everyone else's

[badreligion3333]

he doesnt play this stuff anymore hes in some diswhashers union or sumtin band he talks abouyt it on his myspace and they dont play stuff like this either

[additup]

funny thing is this guy is sleeping in my living room right now

[omarsleeze]

can you tell me where this is

[01001000]

thanks for uploading this, I love Johnny Hobo

[redbearmusic]

i am redbear., and i definitely didn't play, but i wish that i had.

[redbearmusic]

yeah, i am redbear, and i did not play. i wish!

[Janiceofcourse]

Yeah, like ShoreBound said, this was shot in Gainesville at The Fest V, an annual 3-day music festival. This particular show was on the last day of the Fest, a free show at the Plaza of the Americas at the University of Florida campus. I don't remember seeing Red Bear play at all that day, nor see him listed on the flyer, but the acts that played that afternoon were Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains, Ghost Mice, Paul Baribeau, and Matty Pop Chart.

[primussoa]

why is everyone wearing a pink wrist band?

[neroadam]

where was this shot?

[Chimpeach]

agreed times 10 ^

[caffeinatedchris]

the best johnny hobo song there is.

[Chimpeach]
