Janitor Joe Coincidence
Shortly after MLT released Janitor Joe, I mentioned that I searched the internet for that phrase and found that there had been a musical group called Janitor Joe 30 years ago whose bass player died of a heroin overdose at the predictable age of 27.
I just did a little more digging, and discovered that her date of death was… June 16th, 1994!

An interesting coincidence David. A little bit scary. By the way: Somehow the musicians of grunge rock don’t seem to get very old. If I calculated correctly, Kurt Cobain never left the Club 27 either.
Janitor Joe is also the name of a jump & run game from 1984 (better known as Jump Joe). Object of the game is to collect all the keys in every level while avoiding robots and climb ladders, ride elevators and fall down slides.
So is “Jump Joe” the real “Janitor Joe” from the Mona and Lisa’s song? That would explain why one day there was a hole in the roof and he was nowhere to be found. ????

Wow David,
That’s some freaky coincidence ????

David, that is an interesting but freaky coincidence around Janitor Joe.
Was just looking at the new album cover artwork, and I noticed another coincidence, around the beautiful story of Neve coming into Mona and Lisa’s lives and how this wonderful little creature touched them with so much love, and the fact MLTs record label is called “Woolgoose Records”! Little gosling Neve was certainly a furry little WoolGoose. I think quite a wonderful coincidence, that they were inspired by Neve to write a song about her on the album. A sign of good things to come.

Jung,
That is a brilliant observation!!

I’m betting that Pretty Little Thing is the Neve song.
