Kelly could behave almost like Keith Moon: she used to get drunk so she couldn’t even see and then try to take baths and fall over in the tub, shit like that.

Some casual offstage footage of Kelly Johnson- thank you to kelly’s father! (x)

I called her Kellogg. Like the cereal. I always give nicknames to people I love. Kellogg sugar frosted flake. I worked hard at deciding what to wear onstage. Kellogg threw on a tee shirt and jeans and was instant rock star. 24/7 she was instant rock star. She never, ever looked like she should be doing something else other than ripping on guitar.

From All I Ever Wanted (2020) by Kathy Valentine:

Kelly moved in with me. We could match each other pint for pint, smoke for smoke, snort for snort. I had the sturdy resilience of European peasant stock, and Kelly was an Amazon. She had long fingers, forearms, femurs, tibiasas if all the bones between her joints had been given an extra stretch for good measure. Returning from a night out, arms around each other's shoulders and holding each other up, we would crash into my apartment, collapsing on the floor or sofa. Kelly possessed an androgynous, effortless sexuality. She would look at you with sleepy eyes, screened by long swooshes of bangs, and a feline indifference, making her even more appealing. One plastered night, we lunged at each other and made out until the laughing made us stop. I figured if I couldn't ditch my hetero preferences to have wild, drunken sex with Kelly Johnson, I probably should stick with guys.
