Here's Johnny!

If you don't get the now ancient televisual reference of the post title, you are not old enough to view this blog.

Johnny Thunders - Live at the Roxy, Hollywood, CA (1/4/87) 1 - 2

Not the "lost" show I still am having trouble finding (and keeping in my hands, after finding), but an excellent show nonetheless.

Rock gods that walk in our dreams, that's Johnny Thunders to me. Literally.

'Nuff said.

Except for this: Buy shit.

Superhero Appreciation Week - Johnny Thunders

Johnny Thunders - Live in Geneva, Switzerland (1985)

Johnny, Johnny! Oh, how I miss ya, sweet Johnny boy!

I saw Johnny Thunders live. I wrote a poem about Johnny Thunders. I dreamed Johnny Thunders kissed me on the lips. Three of these three statements are true - but which three?

I think the info is correct on this show. But I've had a notoriously difficult time in the past dating and placing Thunders' gigs that I have. The setlist is probably right. Probably. Johnny don't like to be pinned down, even in death. So like him.

New York Dolls. Heartbreakers. Johnny Thunders. Johnny taught me how to rock. That simple. And like he sang, you can't put your arms around a memory. But sometimes you wanna try.

RIP, Johnny. Buy shit, for a memory.
