Joe Galván – In the Spring of 1999 I was a Guest of The Sally Jessy Raphaël Show on Problem Teens

My gang name was Wacky J.
The W Millennium still existed then.
We were all forced to sleep on the same floor
And while my poor mother negotiated with
me to eat pizza with my little brother
Two girls threw mustard on one another
outside, called each other bitches
And hit a security guard.
Between the pizza and the security guard,
It was a three star hotel stay.
