Glorious Results Of A Misspent Youth 
A very fine autobiography…FB’d and Tweeted. Worthy stuff young Marissa.
Did I really write autobiography? Yes I did! Shameful, and I’ve not even had a sip of claret yet!
Well, don’t you know? I’ve had a sex change and changed my name to George Tabb so you’re really not far off!
Please God no! I just got used to a lovely gal bass player…you can’t be a bloke.
Very well…I’ll change back then…
Praise the Lord!
How very kind of you Mike!
Oh, this is so tragic! I can’t believe that nobody took him serious. Most of all because so many suffered from the aftermath of those toxic fumes. But he is also such a fighter which he learned from childhood on. Great article, Marissa!
Yes, a fighter for sure!
And thank you for reading Erika!
It was very interesting and you are writing excellent.
Another interesting piece! It’s terrible how many people were effected by the toxic fumes of 9/11, and how long it took for people to convince others it was the cause of their respiratory issues. I love his quote about how your life has to go terribly wrong to want to perform punk. The price of angst!
Yes, for sure! I love it too! Thank you for reading!
He is so fascinating! Your reporting and writing style is sublime – I love you in this light 🙂 Sorry that I’ve been away for so long. Keep it coming, sister!!
No problem! Thanks for reading!
Oh wow, that is very sad that he ended up sick with respiratory problems from the fallout. It is even sadder that the government wants to sidestep those people by not giving any compensation. It is good that he has put his stories on paper and has persevered.
Yes, he has had quite a bit of success in his life. Too bad he is suffering!
Kind of sad that he can’t write.
I quite agree. He still writes articles though.
Never thought about how stupid I am about the toxic fumes from the 9/11 attack. Thanks for illuminating! This is really juicy stuff! Keep up the fine work, Marissa!
I guess it’s something we don’t think about unless we live in it!
This was such an interesting read. A Jew with a sknihead following was interesting enough, then it truly did get juicy. I hope he gets that house with a big backyard, and I hope the government is forced to foot the bill. Poor guy.
Yeah, me too! Thanks for reading Kim!
Nice piece!
Thanks Renita!
I’m glad this sickness hasn’t robbed him of his attitude and he is still active as can be. I hope the government steps up (more like wake up). Glad he had music to escape the b.s. that was going on in his early years. Deep article, Marissa..
Yes, he certainly hasn’t lost his sense of humor, that’s for sure!
Definitely!
I’ve started three different comments and had to scrap them. I would read more about him. ANd I will read more by you. Your writing and his story go very well together. I like the other comments and can’t form anything intelligent to say. This just has so many feels to it….
No worries Colleen! It means a lot to me that you take the time to read. Sometimes the comments just don’t do it!
You are really doing a fabulous job. Are you feeling less nervous about this?
This was a great read, Marissa. The journeys of some people, like George Tabb, is fascinating but tragic.
Yes, so true Joanne! Thanks for reading!
Wow what a life this person had. So many struggles yet he is still standing and fighting. A testament to his resilience that is to be admired !
I quite agree! And he still has his sense of humor! Thanks for reading!
Great article, Marissa! And I really like this guy 🙂
Yeah, he’s awesome! Thanks Paola!
This was both humorous and tragic, Marissa. I feel bad for all those who had dirt, dust and pieces of 9/11 coming into their apartment, homes and offices. George sure did endure a large number of surgeries. I am glad he has Elena. The performance was a fantastic one, the long ending dueling sound, as well as riffs and clashing metallic sound was truly exciting to hear. Sorry the audience doesn’t sound large.
I am always excited to hear of musicians writing books and his double publications being used in schools is a tribute to a life well lived, he may still finish that nursing home end of the road book. Funny how at 29 he was singing about that subject! Fascinating and unique writing by Marissa Bergen, too! 😉
Thank you for reading. There is so much going on here and I see you picked up on so much of that. I really appreciate it and I’m sure George would too.
Your writing is captivating and I was riveted to the story you wrote. By taking his life, his words and really being a great storyteller, Marissa, keep us all coming back!!
Thank you so much Robin!
Such an interesting chap. Great band names too. Another goodie Marissa!
Yes, he’s a creative guy! Thanks for reading!
