Book description
I met Jack at the start of my first summer in London. It was April, it was hot, I remember it. I was young and free and the whole world was just an oyster to me. It seems a lomg time ago now. I suppose it was a long time ago, in a way.
I wish I could have said that Johnny Thunders brought us together, that I met him by chance in one of those second-hand record stalls that cluster together under the Westway, srting through the boxes with that look of frowning concentration that marks the vinyl buff from the casual browser, hunting for a bootleg album by the New York Dolls, or a late cut from the Heartbreakers.
