TRASH
Or it can kill you if you want to die...
That guitarist who was sharing the mic on the choruses in yesterday's clip? With the hair that looks like a Breck girl gone for a couple of spins on the Cyclone? That was Johnny Thunders.
Waiting for Johnny to die became a sort of sick sport in the early 80s. (See Johnny's Gonna Die by The Replacements for some further context.)
Here's the sad spectacle of Johnny attempting to perform Sad Vacation, his paean to another formal nihilist, Sid Vicious.
Watch it once, never watch it again, and never forget it...
