Does the name John Kennedy Oswald mean anything to you?  Not likely, but if you were paying attention in the late 80's/early 90's you know him as Warrant's front man.  He died on this date in 2011, in an L.A. hotel, from acute alcohol poisoning at age 47.

Jani was an actor briefly, he also had Division One college football scholarships but turned them down, and he made appearances on vocals for Rushon "2112/Temples" and "Bastille Day".  He also had three gorgeous wives and 2 beautiful kids, so it would seem he had a lot to live for.  He had previously been in and out of rehab for alcohol addiction a couple times, but finally lost the battle... really a tragedy in many ways. Today's "Punch-Out" will definitely feature a tribute song.
