Today in Labor History April 23, 1991: Johnny Thunders died, either from a drug overdose or by homicide. Thunders sang and played guitar with the New York Dolls, with the Heartbreakers, and solo. In their early days, the Dolls worked with Malcolm McLaren, who modeled the Sex Pistols after them. Thunders left the Dolls in 1975, blaming Malcolm McLaren for their demise, and then formed the Heartbreakers, with former Television bassist Richard Hell (who later formed the Voidoids and recorded the classic, Blank Generation). I was fortunate enough to see Johnny Thunders perform before solo he died (or misfortunate, depending on your perspective). It was in New York City, at a small club. He announced to us that he was finally clean and then proceeded to fall off his stool several times. https://youtu.be/KJpDXVMxzpc

My morning album today is the solo debut by Sylvain Sylvain who until last night I didn't realize had actually made any solo albums, but I'm really enjoying it. A melding of NY punk with early rock stuff from the 50s and 60s, some great melodies.
