Looking For Johnny: The Legend of Johnny Thunders

by Danny Garcia, Iris Berry (Editor), Wyatt Doyle (Editor)

Drawn from interviews conducted by director Danny Garcia for his acclaimed documentary LOOKING FOR JOHNNY, this oral biography of the legendary Johnny Thunders includes first-hand recollections from those who knew Johnny best, from his fellow New York Dolls, Heartbreakers, and Oddballs to his friends, fellow musicians, and loved ones. Johnny Thunders lives again through the reminiscences of Sylvain Sylvain, Walter Lure, Leee Black Childers, Billy Rath, Marty Thau, Lenny Kaye, Peter Perrett, Bob Gruen, Richard Lloyd, and many others. “The stories and anecdotes contained in this book are a strike against mortality, and a lasting testament to the inimitable spirit of Mr. Johnny Thunders, and stand as a worthy companion to the documentary.” —Nina Antonia (author of JOHNNY THUNDERS...IN COLD BLOOD and TOO MUCH TOO SOON: THE NEW YORK DOLLS)

Great tribute to Johnny Thunders!

If you're a fan of the New York Dolls, the Heartbreakers, or early punk, this book is for you!

It's both a great snapshot of the scene and a compelling account for Johnny Thunders rise to fame and eventual crash with his death in the early 90s.

Can't wait to watch the documentary The book is based on!
