WHICH JOHNNY THUNDERS SONG WAS IT?
 WAS IT A COVER PLAYED BY SOME OTHER BAND, OR WAS IT REALLY JOHNNY?

I believe it was, "I'm A Pathetic Junkie".

When are they going to put some good shows back on tv, like Happy Days. Now tv is all about chicks with big tits in bikinis or fat hairy intalians yelling at each other. Bring back the Fonz, damnit.

Happy Days is on TV Land from 5-6 every Monday-Friday.  But be careful, there about to Jump the Shark.

hey now Thirsty...I'll be the first to admit that Johnny took junkiedom to new lows, but he was still a pretty talented mofo.  Let it go to waste there towards the end, but "Chatterbox" is one of the most underrated classic rock'n'roll tunes of all time. May Johnny RIP...that is if he and Dee Dee Ramone aren't at each other's throats with Stiv Bators playing referee.

The famous Fonzi episode where he Jumps the Shark in CA is about to be on in the rotation of the episodes.  That is famously known as when Happy Days started to suck and has spawned an enitre web site dedicated to when TV shows "Jump the Shark" from being a good show to being a crappy show.

Oh, Chatterbox is a fantastic song, as is Personality Crisis.

You've never seen the "Jump the Shark" episode, yet you call for the return of great shows like Happy Days?  Unbelievable.

It's been what, 25 years since Happy Days was on network television? How am I supposed to remember every episode from 25 years ago?

This episode was legendary.  Like "The Competition" or "Soup Nazi" in Seinfeld, if you saw the Fonz jump the shark tank on water skis, you never forgot it.

The best.  Combine that with TiVo and I live a relaxing off-work time in 20 minute segments....

Why should I remember it, if that's when HD started to suck? Or do they mean it started to suck AFTER that episode?

Actually, at the very moment when Fonz jumped the shark tank, the show started to suck.

actually the song was 'can't put your arms around a memory,' off the 'hurt me' album.  prolly the best collection of tender songs from a macho misogynistic junkie you'll ever hear.  gotta love nny.

Thank you for answering my question!
 
 I guess it's kinda appropriate to have a Thunders song on the Sopranos show, now that I think about it a minute.
 
 So is the Sex Pistols show going to sell out in 1 minute? Or maybe it's already sold out because all the 930 Club employees bought tickets for all their friends. I don't blame them really.
