John McNerney

Playing major rock venues and opening for major rock star acts has taught me one thing. Once you've seen a girl naked, you've seen them all naked.

Being 6'4" and a redhead has its advantages. I'm easy to spot in a crowd!

Don't take nothing from nobody and don't give anyone reason to take advantage of you in the first place.

I can truly say the biggest regret of my life was letting Tina Rinaldi go.

My two rock idols are Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen. Not just because they are from Jersey, but, because they conduct themselves with humility and give a lot back to the public and their respective communities. And, the fact they both ended up marrying someone that "knew them when" is something I admire and hope to have with Tina (Rinaldi) one day.

One thing groupies will never understand is that they all start blending together. There is nothing unique about them and yet they all think they are the right one for me. I know the right one for me and her name is Tina and no matter how our paths come together and divide us as the years pass. She is and will always be the one for me.

People always ask how Tina (Rinaldi) and I ended up with the nicknames Pebbles and Bam-Bam, and, I tell them that during our college years the nicknames were perfect and we have Danny (D'Angelo) to thank for them.

You always know when Danny (D'Angelo) is coming. You hear him first (because of the Tic Tacs in his pocket) and then you smell him (because he uses way too much cologne!)

I met my best friends: Tina Rinaldi, Danny D'Angelo, Sam Evans, Dave Blackwell and Manny Rodriquez in college. And I can't imagine my life without them.

Brooklyn and Jersey have a lot in common. People make fun of both and those who know better let them.

People who mock New Jersey have never been to Somerset or Hundertdon counties.
