It
was close to midnight when Joey "Pepe" Smith downed the last of his beer,
picked up his guitar and walked out of the cramped dressing room and into the
club.
" PE-PE! PE-PE! PE-PE! PE-PE! PE-PE!" This wasn't just any rock & roll band after all. This was Joey Smith, legendary drummer and vocalist of the legendary Juan de la Cruz Band and--in a previous lifetime at least--legendary boozer, dope fiend and free spirit. At the junction where the Sixties dovetailed into the Seventies--then sex, drugs and rock & roll fueled the lifestyles of Manila's young and restless--Smith was the rock icon.
