  3. Dolores Says:

    I loved it John. You are truly an inspiration!!! Thank you for giving all of us misfits a voice and the courage to not be afraid to use our creativity!

    <3<3<3<3

  4. Alex Says:

  5. Karla Says:

    John this was awesome! … its great to know where you come from and all that you’ve been through! … and again! .. I cannot thank you enough for being a great artist and example! … for showing us that following our dreams and doing what we love is more important than people think!

    im in the credits! .. how sweet of you! .. Im glad the videos meant so much to you !

    Im excited for your next projects … dont make me wait long!

  6. Gwak Says:

    :) that was cool

  7. Henry Kaplan Says:

    Amazing work..and yet you want to just have it on the internet and not on cable. Come on John!

  8. Tasha Says:

    John, that documentary was amazing. As if we could have expected anything less than that from an artist such as yourself. You not only satisfied my expectations but surpassed them in the incredible way that you always have done.
    Rancid for you is what Green Day is for me, something which restored my faith not only in myself but in the human race. You’ll never know just how amazing it feels to know that there is someone out there who is as passionate about a band as I am.
    Just like the first time I had heard it, Harlow’s poem made me cry. To know that he is such a huge part of you and that he is in your heart and soul, in everything that you do, is truly heartwarming.
    I’ve said this to you before but will say it again anyway; it is because of you that I could find find the courage to once again express myself in the artistic way I do. I cannot thank you enough for restoring my conviction.
    Once again, you have proved that you aren’t afraid to lay your very self on the line and put yourself up for scrutiny. Like Green Day did 13 years ago, you have restored my faith in the human race. To find an inspiration such as you in my lifetime gives me a feeling which I cannot vindicate with mere words and will never try to.
    “Thank you”, it always seems so redundant when I say it to you, but it’s all I have. Thank you; for being fearless, for wearing your heart on your sleeve, for showing us all that our creativity is the most important thing we have. Most of all, thank you for being yourself and sharing that with us.

  10. Shell F Says:

    Every so often a person comes into my life who makes me think “Hang on, life isn’t all bad after all. There’s amazing people out there.” The people who make me laugh, cry and perhaps most importantly, think. Thank you for being one of those people, John. You truly are an inspiration to me and so many others.

  11. Bo Says:

    thanks for everything john

  12. Amanda Says:

    John, this was beautiful. I remember that you were once writting this on your facebook’s status, but I think you never finished it. Now we know what happened after you went to Hollywood for the first time! lol All I want to say is that keep up with your work, ’cause it’s awesome… even if your mother can’t watch it yet (did I mention that my mom wanted to watch Svengali with me? lol). Anyways, you’re an inspiration to everyone who wants to film, paint, write or sing, ’cause we’re all misfits, and we’re like a huge weird family and you keep demostrating that if you have an idea, you should do it.
    I love you <3

  13. Beth de Blois Says:

    John, it is just beautiful, like you.
    xoxo,
    Beth

  15. Shannon Says:

    John Roecker never ceases to amaze.
    I know for a fact that you will never let any of us down, John. You’re amazing and talented and artistic and any other positive adjective. Your life story moves me and makes me cherish the fact that you know I exist and give a damn about the “strange ones” out there.
    I love you to pieces, John. <33

  16. Kryssi Says:

  26. Jen Says:

    This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing and for caring. Thank you for inspiring me and reminding me what is important. There is so much negativity in the world, but we are limited mainly by ourselves. Sometimes it pays to take a chance and make a move. Thank you for inspiring me to do just that x

  27. George Eliot Says:

    Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts, nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

  28. sarah boehm Says:

    hey john, hows it goin? I just wanted to ask you, how do i get a Lushotology T-shirt like kryssi has? lol i saw it on Facebook and came here to order one but I can’t find them, do we have to order them specifically from you? or are they on here and I’m just so over tired that I missed them LOL, well, have a good night <3 :)
