Sebastian Bach Kisses Home Goodbye

Rocker loses his MIddletown home and lots of valued memorabilia in Hurricane Irene flooding.

It was Sunday when a call came out over the Breaking News Network saying there was an emergency evacuation at rocker Sebastian Bach's Swimming River Road home in the Lincroft section of Middletown.

The Swimming River Reservoir had overflowed, causing the road and surrounding area to turn into its river namesake, or at least a lake or pond. According to Monmouth County and township officials, that road is still closed and residents all along it are suffering similar losses due to the ravaging flooding in Hurricane Irene's aftermath.

As cited by the NOISECREEP Web site and Bach's Facebook page, since then, Bach has bemoaned the loss of his home and valuable memorabilia in lengthy posts (originally on Facebook and repeated on NOISECREEP).

According to his verbal and pictoral posts, the loss was an all-consuming one and people should be aware that the rocker's belongings, including Kiss memorabilia, could very well be rolling by in the flood waters' tide. He now has a picture posted on Facebook of the condemnation notice posted on his home.
