Lonely Planet Boy

But how has he never gotten shit for Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory? Which is, let's be honest, his only real song as a solo artist.

It's basically... at least the intro, really rips off Lonely Planet Boy off the Dolls' first album.

For those who don't know, Johnny Thunders was a member of the New York Dolls.

And it's just strange, it occurred to me, because not only...

This is basically his only song.

It's his signature song.

And you could kind of accuse him of ripping off Lonely Planet Boy from his previous band.

Is there another instance of that? I can't think of one.

You know, like I said, the attitude and quasi-sexual violence of Vietnamese boy is just extraordinary.

Lonely Planet Boy is like the one time that they try to ape Bowie and Lou Reed, and it actually really works.

And then I love Trash and Bad Girl back-to-back are just awesome, because Trash is just basically ironic country, just revved up, revved punk up.

And Bad Girl is just like a showcase for Johnny Thunders as being like a natural-born punk.
