... there was a NY musician called Johnny Thunders. He was from the 'New York Dolls' and his real name was John Genzale, Jr. He overdosed and died at 38, but he devoted one of his albums to the drug dealers of the Lower East Side. I've never been to NYC, so I don't know exactly what he means by that, but it must've been a fascinating place.... I mean, to think that Sammy the Bull's first murder victim (Joey Collucci) was the basis for John Travolta's Vinnie Barbarino in 'Welcome Back, Kotter'...
