I found Johnny Thunders by first hearing his song, You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory in a Sopranos episode. Loved that jangly guitar and good strong voice. I read on about his addiction struggles. His starts and stops with bands and relationships. For all the great things he appeared to have, this talented man also lived a hard life. To everyone battling addiction, please hang in there and please get help. ✌🏾

without the addiction he might have ended up working in a bank or something, one thing is for sure, a sober thunders wouldn't have been playing those songs in that environment with those people. his life would have undoubtedly brought him someplace else. he might never have taken music seriously as a lifestyle option and ended up managing a grocery store or something. he might have done music as a hobby or lost interest after high school. i feel this way about alot of my favorite artists who suffered/suffer from addiction. its partly the addiction that brought them to the place in life where they created the art that attracted us to them in the first place. some people's destiny in life is to be a warning to others. these guys gave us an insight into a realm of the human condition that most of us are never or rarely exposed to in our normal life. i've been a dolls/thunders/heartbreakers fan for some 30 years now, since i was a young teenager. it never seemed glamorous or cool to me, to be addicted to heroin or hard drugs. seeing vids of thunders smacked out when i was a kid was one of the only places to see that reality. sid vicious vids were another one. seeing a video i never saw before like this one, after so many years, reinforces these beliefs. i spent a good number of years struggling with addiction, and now i've been sober a solid bunch (almost 8 yrs no alcohol or hard drugs). and i just love this video so much. because it shows what i learned firsthand, that while absent addiction they may have been more successful or lived longer or whatever, they would not have been in that place, at that time, doing what they did. what if? is a fiction game our brains play. what if didn't happen, this is what WAS. thanks for documenting it.
