Remembering Johnny Thunders today on what would have been his birthday. Among the 1000’s of musicians I have deliriously enjoyed through the years, the purest rock’n’roll guitarist I ever did see.

Tuesday 8:15 am, village of Ballston Spa. Watched a guy get out his car, set a golf ball down on a patch of grass in the middle of a parking lot and tee off.
In my mind, while zooming the daily grind, he eyeballs a swath of green earth, pulls over, thinks “screw it,” and whips out the golf clubs.

When the first thing you see when you wake up makes you ponder that the skinny wacko-nerd you first saw 48 years ago in a crappy neighborhood singing in French about a psycho is still doing his thing, and so are you.
