More David Johansen (although I said no more)

Aug 16th, 1979

My new Top 10 List

1. David Bowie
2. Debbie Harry
3. Iggy Pop
4. Clem Burke
5. Johnny Ramone
6. Matt the Roadie
7. Billy Stark
8. Howie Pyro
9. Tommy Trask
10. Brad Barnett

I went to see the David Johansen Band at Creation although I swore I would never go back and see them again. It was a pretty decent night considering I was not expecting too much. Tommy had no guitar pics to play at one point during the show so I gave him one of mine. Then he gave it back to me after the show and thanked me for the guitar pic. Bernie the roading is so nice. I am going to ask him to send me postcards from Europe. I must say that the Johansen Band and the Ramones have the best roadies.

Day 3 of the Ramones

Aug 3rd, 1979

I went to see the Ramones in Portchester. What a wild night. We hung out with Matt the roadie alot. Johnny Ramone was so wild. I got so many guitar pics, it was crazy. After the show, I wanted to go out back again by the van to see them. So I spoke with Johnny awhile. Actually all of the Ramones spoke to us and they were all really nice. Joey Ramone made a comment to me about how I caught all of the guitar pics in my teeth. I can not believe how obnoxious Joey can be. I wrote Johnny a letter that I am going to mail to him and I am asking him to send me a postcard from England. I am sending the letter to Arturo so hopefully Johnny will get it.

I also realized how obnoxious the David Johansen band can be. Forget about them, I think the Ramones are so much better. I will never go to another Johansen show again. I really hate them now expecially when I think of how much better Johnny Ramone is. Anyway - I know who is my complete fave now. I saw Marie there and had told me that Tommy Trask asked her to go to a party. I think she just told me that to be spiteful.

Day 2 of Ramones

Aug 12th, 1979

It is so great getting to see the Ramones again. I love when I can see a band 3 nights in a row. We went again out to Long Island. I waited by their van after the show so when they left, I could say good bye to Johnny. I was so funny because at the show I wrote this really big "Johnny I love you" on the table cloth and I think he got really embaressed. Matt the Roadie has been really nice. Johnny was as wild as always on stage. I can not wait to see them again tomorrow night.

The Ramones on Long Island

Aug 11th, 1979

Went out the Long Island to see the Ramones. I stayed at Geri's house so I could see the Ramones 3 nights in a row. How great is that, 3 nights of Johnny! I did not get to talk to Johnny at all but I think he noticed me from the stage. He did this wild & amazing movements with his guitar. I thought I would die. I got 3 guitar pics. He got all embaressed during Surfin Bird again when it was really quiet except for me screaming for him. He made this quiet motion with his finger. It was so cute. I kind of think of that as sort of our song. Oh Hail True Love.

So before the show, it was really scary because we drove past the house where they have the Amityville Horror movie. It was the real house that it happened in. I was even afraid to look at the house.

More David Johansen

Aug 9th, 1979

I went to see the David Johansen Band at the Fountain Casino. Ugh - was it ever an awful night. I spoke to Frankie LaRocka in the beginning of the night and he said he would give me his drumsticks which he never did. Tommy Trask did not give me 1 guitar pic. I only got a few that he knocked off his mic stand. The only time I think Tommy even acknowledged me wwas when they came out for an encore and he came out with a bottle of coke. So he looked for me and pretended he was going to pour it on my head. The show sucked anyway & it was a pretty short set. I should have gone to see the Ramones tonight instead. It was a toss up and I think I made the wrong choice. I'm thinking of not going to see the David Jo band anymore. God - I do this all the time. These 2 bit musicians aren't shit. I should just totally devote myself to David Bowie.

Onto the Ramones

Aug 5th, 1979

I went to see the Ramones the Fast Lane in Asbury Park NJ. It was so great since I was once again right up against the stage in front of Johnny Ramone. During Surfin Bird, when it gets really quiet, I always yell really loud for Johnny & I did & he smiled and laughed and gave me a guitar pic. So some kid grabbed it from me and Johnny gave me another one. Oh also, how great is this, Johnny dropped his guitar pic during the set and he did not have another one so I handed him the one he gave me and he used it. Then after the show we went into the dressing room and I actually got to talk to Johnny for awhile. It was so great. We talked about the movie & other stuff. It was pure heaven. God how I love Johnny.

And Still More Heartbreakers....

Aug 4th, 1979

I went to Max's again to see the Heartbreakers and I think probably for the last time I will ever see them. I know that I have said that before but I mean it this time. I am just getting so sick of them and Johnny's bullshit. Everyone is so convinced that Johnny Thunders is going to die soon. It seemed like he could barely stand up this time. All of the Blessed were there again. I spoke with Billy most of the night. I refused to say Hi to Howie but he finally came over to us. And he was so f'ing obnxious. But it was so strange to see him wearing the rosary beads I gave him around his wrist. I wonder if anyone ever asked him where he got his rosary beads from, if he would say where he got them. And guess what, the Blessed are recording on Wednesday and they might put out a single on Bomp records. God I can not wait. I will play that record to death.
