Good on Jonesy . Driving himself to the hospital while he's having a heart attack. 
Saw Johnny on "Judge Judy" a while back, he conducted himself very decently/respectfully and won his case.
IIRC he married the mother of one the girls from "The Slits" and has proved to be a loving devoted husband.......but did you like the mashup???? |
John is married to the mother of the late Ari Up of The Slits; when Ari passed away from cancer in LA, John and Helen adopted Ari's children and raised them to adulthood; being raised by John Lydon must have been an interesting experience...
I liked the mashup and it was well done; here's a couple you might find interesting...

I saw the Dolls when they made their West Coast debut at the Whisky A-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip in 1973; I'd heard of them and had heard one of their songs once on the radio;; I was up on the Strip when I noticed they were on the marquee at the Whisky, so I got in the queue with the usual assorted lot of hippies, rockers, and tourists waiting for the doors to open; I don't remember who was/were the opening act(s), but when the Dolls came on, it was a sight to see, and I don't mean just the band; the audience was used to the sort of laid back LA Laurel Canyon/Eagles-ish 'rock' and the Dolls were 180 degrees not what they were used to seeing; aside from David Johansen's glam-rock take on Jagger, the get-ups of the rest of the band just stunned the crowd; when they stormed into their first numbers, the sight of Johnny Thunders and Syl Sylvain, all wildly flying hair and Townsend-like windmills generating a wall/wail of sound just floored everybody; some of the 'peaceful easy feeling' types made for the exits, but for those who stayed, it was a memorable performance; when I started working at a nearby rock club, the Dolls were frequent customers...
Speaking of David Johansen (or David Doll, as he was known in 1973), he went on to have a modest career as an actor and a solo singing career under the name of Buster Poindexter...
...if you look closely, you'll see Bill Murray in the video...
