hearing the words of this song, i think it may have been about johnny thunders who was a heroin addict and punk pioneer who played in the new york dolls.
You are correct, it's about J.T. I always foud it funny that they could play this song while watching Bobby go down the same path. Heroin is a bad, bad drug.
Another compelling song by my fav band. I tried to think of a decade where they might have found .. but no generation would have pushed them anywhere near to the top of the list where they stand in my mind. Throwing beer on fans and being drunk half the time never helps and making a lousy video like "left of the dial" sealed the deal. The replacements were gonna die.
Nice. The Liner notes from SMFT was one of those things that got me into the Mats and good music in general. I was like 10 when my brother brought it home. I didn't want him to take MY record off the player, but jesus, am I glad he did. I owned one record; Def Leppard Pyromania...needless to say it changed my life. Reading the notes on the jacket totally made me listen to the record. What got me was "Bob's lead is hotter than a urinary infection".
