Hey guys... I just wanted to comment on how happy I am to see this song in this game. Other people might not agree with it... but to me it has a lot of meaning. I remember watching Ringo Star in concert about 10 years ago when Simon Kirke was part of his All Star Band... and hearing this song. It just stuck in my head and has ever since (13 years later). When I saw this song on the rumored RB DLC list back in March I think it was... I literally jumped for joy... a mere 4 months later and im finally jumping for joy again.
Thank you for this song... my main question is the lyrics with "Johnny died one night... he died in his bed... bottle of whiskey, sleepin tablets by his head..."
I know the ESRB loves to have a field day with reference to alcohol in games rated T... thinkin that it promotes underage drinking or some stupid crap... and the sleeping tablets part would also fall into that (suicide). I'm just worried that there will be some sort of censorship of this part... which would really be a downer considering the whole song is good... but taking out that part would bring it down a little bit.
For those who dont know the song...

Once again thank you Harmonix for the inclusion of this song... and if anyone can give an input on the lyrics situation... that'd be great.

I think, with Casey Jones' chorus, you don't have much to worry about.

It's not promoting drinking though so I think it's safe.

Casey Jones actually warns against drug use though. But there's nothing to worry about.
