this is so sad!

I heard that Walter didn't do hard drugs like JT and JN

@gymnastix you get a D- for that

[gymnastix]

@ChineseR0ck I guess I should have given Johnny the scarf, at least someone who appreciated and would have worn it would have had it, instead of its fate of winding up in the trash.

I stopped drinking alcohol in 1992, have been on methadone since about 2000. It's not a great life, but at least no more dope sickness.

@ChineseR0ck  @ChineseR0ck For the record, I lost that glitter scarf, took it to my first reab (along with a leopard-skin print shirt), figured I'd need something cool to wear to a rehab party, which shows you how ignorant I was going into that place.

@ChineseR0ck After Johnny died, I thought, if ever I ran into Walter Lure, I would just give the buton to him now, as a tribute to Johnny.

So Walter, if you're out there, I have a gift for you, from your old pal Johnny.

Then Johnny eyed this "Rude Gays" button (with the checkerboard design of ska/Twin-Tone Records, etc.) I was wearing, grabbed me by the lapels of my jacket, and said, "You gotta give me that, man. Walter would love that!" When I refused him, he offered me $50 for the button. But I figured, if Johnny Thunders was willing to pay me $50 for something other than heroin, it must be worth keeping.

@ChineseR0ck One of the few times I talked to Johnny, he noticed this black and gold glitter scarf I was wearing (around my head like a bandana), and said, "You gotta give me that, man." I turned him down.

@ChineseR0ck  No, in fact, Lure had some sort of Wall Steet job, as I once heard it.
