anyway, that's the impression I got from the interviews i've read (like the part above where he admits not really being able to conceive of what "fun" might be) and esp. from that "end of the centurty" movie.
other times i think that callousness might all be a bit of a front - built up over years of disappointment at his band's career and watching everyone around him fall apart. I admit I got a little lump in my throat at the final line of that article: "I would never perform without Joey. He was our singer."
thanks, alex.

it also mentions one of the weird/interesting things about the ramones, the absolute joylessness they showed before taking the stage, like they were chosen for a battle not of their choosing

Johnny's statue at his gravesite has quotes on the pedestal from Eddie Vedder, Lisa Marie Presley and Vincent Gallo. Talk about choices that last longer than a lifetime.

Saw Butterfly McQueen once when I worked at Actor's Equity for the summer. Cousin of mine was friends with Johnny as I may have mentioned before.
