RIP Dennis Flemion of The Frogs

Most everyone here knows of him from The Frogs' RVM cover. Apparently he drowned according to a friend of mine who saw it on Twitter.

Dawn I live here in Wisconsin and saw this drowning story last night on the 10 o'clock news. Had no idea it was him. So this is the friend Ed referred to that he got the phone call about.

This was in the Oslo fanviews thread...

"He also mentions that he received an early morning phone call letting him know a friend had died suddenly and unexpectedly. He tells the audience he hadn't spoken to the person in too long. He encouraged the audience to not feel the way he feels and to tell people they know that they love them as often as they can".

This is really sad... My first PJ gig was on 7/9/95 at Summer Fest here in Milwaukee and The Frogs opened up. Ed came out and did "I Only Play For Money" with the Frogs, and also did "Star Boy" with Jimmy during the encore.... that was 17 years ago today...kind of creepy.

This is very sad news. Yes, Dennis did give those bat wings to Eddie. My thoughts are with his brother Jimmy... and all who love the Frogs.
