#God just look at how cute they are#Johnny has just turned 20 here I believe#He was 18 when him and Moz met in May 1982#And Moz be what#25 here? I think#He'd just turned 24 when they met#So he's 25 and a half basically#God they were so young#And meanwhile even though Johnny is only 20 years old this is like his second or third serious band#With White Dice and Sister Ray and Freak Party#And then suddenly within a year of meeting this odd hermit who still lived with his mother and lived on three valium a day#Here he is on top of the pops and playing massive gigs all over the UK#It's just so extraordinary#I don't know that I'll ever really be over it#Johnny's energy was just seeping inside of me#I'd never met anyone that wanted to really get out there and make it#Sighs#From the Nick Kent interview you know#Also how is it Johnny looks so thin here but he looks so much fuller in the face by next year#Then back to skeletal in 1987#Isn't that odd#Things to think about#johnny#moz
