Political Music
What does say about America, when 40 years go by, and there are more junkies, than ever before ?
Policy toward junkies has changed in MA. Addicts who want to find help can walk into a police station and ask for it. Rather than being hauled off to jail, they'll instead head to a detox program. The Opioid Overdose Prevention Act, permits Narcan to be carried and administered.
Why ? Too many young people died from overdose.
Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers - Chinese Rocks
(Why Punk Rock ? Just another form of music. )
Drugs, take another life-
The New York Dolls ( My Idols!) broke up.
Sex Pistols' impresario Malcolm McLaren, who had been involved in the Dolls' final days, invited the Heartbreakers to tour England, where they joined the Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Damned, and the Slits on tour.
The Heartbreakers drifted apart in London. Thunders stayed there, and in 1978 recorded a critically acclaimed solo album, So Alone, with backing from Sex Pistols Steve Jones and Paul Cook, Peter Perrett of the Only Ones, Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott, and ex-Small Faces/Humble Pie guitarist Steve Marriott.
Thunders returned to New York in late 1978 for the first of many Heartbreakers reunion/farewell tours.
The Heartbreakers (with Nolan) held a final New York City reunion show in 1990. A year later, Thunders, just back in the U.S. from a successful tour of Japan, died under unexplained circumstances in a New Orleans hotel. It was rumored that he had an advanced case of leukemia.
Sadly, Johnny left his children behind. He was 38.
Looking for Johnny, film directed by Danny Garcia
