You must know Phyllis Stein then, she was friends with all these people and took photos just like you. She produces a lot of Danny Garcia's films. She really needs to publish her photos. This is a great write-up. I saw Johnny Thunders in the 80's at the Roxy, he was pretty high unfortunately. But yes he definitely was a legend.
Phyllis and I would have been neighbors - she moved to a different ‘hood around the same time I moved to Irving Place. She and Jerry Nolan were a couple
What a great article. Well written nostalgia always gets a standing-o. I love the sixties, but the seventies wins every fucking time.
I only got to see the Dolls when David and Sylvain hit the road around 2007, or something. I did see Gang War open for the Clash in ‘79 though.
Thunders was one of a kind, and man, he could play.

Yes that’s right! She’s a very nice lady lives in Florida now. Have you or did you know Nina Antonia?
I don’t know Nina personally, but people fact check each of us against the other’s memory, which I think is weird
Certainly odd. I know Phyllis dated Philippe Marcade of The Senders too, regarding my comment above.
Love this! Muchas Gracias Theresa, please keep it coming! Salud...
Absolutely vital...I look forward to your posts, Theresa.
Johnny Thunders was The Best.
Buy "So Alone" and listen to at least once a day every fuckin' day.
Terrific piece!
