Josh Betterton (and me) in OKC:
going to Guestroom Records
Life, like pictures, sometimes gets a little out of focus, but my memories of you will never be hazy. I will always remember your wonderfully unique sense of humor, your love for music, your honest heart, your insane and crazy bands, your brilliant mind, and sharing so many good times (like the 90's, driving home from a concert with my head tilted so I could get in the car with my liberty-spiked hair)! I will miss you so much and I already do! Thank you for having such a generous heart, and for just being you. Being who you are is what made you such a great person, friend, brother, son, and father.
Joshua David Betterton

One night at the Red Cup
(...still at Red Cup)
Josh, you lived much longer than you ever thought you would, (especially when you were getting jumped for being a punk, and almost killed by skinheads for being a punk against racism!), but your life and passion for music wasn't long enough for the people who love you and who will always miss you, your bright blue eyes and your heart of gold.

Classic Josh quotes:
"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be, and more of a woman than you'll ever have."
