The Johnny Thunders Story with Nina Antonia

Johnny Thunders, 'In Cold Blood' is the definitive portrait of the condemned man of rock 'n' roll, from the baptism of fire and tragedy that was the New York dolls, through to the junkie punk years of the Heartbreakers and beyond. Author Nina Antonia wrote this book with Thunder's blessing & illustrated an unflinching account of a unique guitarist whose drug problems often overshadowed his considerable style and talent.

"Self-destructive route"? People nowadays are so conditioned by media & propaganda that they don't know what they're saying! Johnny Thunders & Co knew about drugs. William Burroughs never stopped using & he's considered the greatest novelist of the second half of the 20th century. Prohibition's a recent invention: Baudelaire, Wagner, De Maupassant, Poe, Coleridge, Berlioz, Cocteau, Piaf & many others were "drug-addicts"! This is Rock&Roll! Don't do drugs & listen to Britney Spears then! Idiots!

@kidcalabria I concurr. These fucks don't know anything about Thunders or most artists. Why? They have stopped finding things out for themselves.

I think she is Beautiful. A damn good article if you've read in cold blood.

@BobTheRecordGuy My point wasn't about being cool through drugs or rockstars' personas, only about the uselessness of the "war on drugs", the fact that people took them since the beginning of time, that all kinds of smart people used them (Marcus Aurelius & Otto Von Bismarck were addicts & they kept whole nations going, or Wilberforce, the English politician responsible for the end of the slave trade) & that it's possible to use opiates & have a productive life at the same time

@kidcalabria : If someone has to do drugs to be cool then they aren't & never will be cool. "Johnny Thunders" -yeah, look at the video of him trying to teach little kids to sing the chorus of his song, chewing the inside of his cheeks out and scaring the hell out of them. Look for the interviews where JT told the truth- he wasn't one to preach but he let it be known that he didn't respect the people that tried to live the junkie life vicariously through his misery.

@kidcalabria Drugs suck, and people who think drugs are 'cool' suck. People that think drugs are 'cool' are what killed JT. William Burroughs was a waste. he wrote some books that critics like ans he spent most of his time doing NOTHING.. like every junkie, he was waiting...waiting...waiting... That's all junkies do, they rarely DO anything, and once they're into their addiction for real they do nothing positive. Sorry, been there, done that. Not necessary to do any drug to be real R&R.
