[B] Tell me about Johnny Tundras.
Well, Johnny Tundras [Bbm] is an
[A] extremely [B] talented singer, songwriter, guitar player,
[Ab] who [Bb] threw away his life for heroin.
[A] Really, how more is there [Ab] to say?
[B] He left a whole lot of records, [A] of which most [Ab] aren't very good,
because people are recording some bad shows, [A] basically.
But there is a core of about half a dozen CDs that are as good as anything anyone has ever put out.
I see.
And what was his
[B] music like?
And what [A] was his bent?
It's just straight ahead, hard [Bb] rock and roll.
If you [B] want to know what it's [Bb] like, you need to listen to [Ab] the CD called So Alone,
[Bb] Johnny Tundras' So Alone, which is his first solo [B] ever.
And of course, The [A] Heartbreakers Live at [B] Max's.
[A] And another one [Ab] called [B] Johnny Tundras and the [G] Heartbreakers, L.A.M.F., The Lost [Bb] 77 [G] Mixes.
And [Ab] make sure that that's the edition that you get.
Those [G] three are the [Bm] definitive Johnny Tundras records.
I see.
But he [B] was [C] to some extent [Ab]
an idol,
[C] and he was to some extent [Ab] a sort of a – [B] well, he was charismatic on stage,
but he was sort of also [Bbm] a sad person.
[A] [G] Do you know what I mean by that?
[N] Well, yeah, [B] sure.
I mean, I think an [Ebm]
unfortunately [C] large [B] percentage of his following
[A] were much more interested in him [G] as the [Ab] dying [G] junkie than they were interested in his music or his talents.
Why is that?
I don't know.
People are morbid.
Alice Cooper said Americans [Bb] are only –
[N] Oh, there you go.
[E] Do you think that [B] he represented an alter [Abm] ego to some [Bb] extent? Perhaps.
To [B] Americans?
There were a lot of [A] foolish people in his entourage who [B]
thought they were copying [A] him by going out and shooting up heroin,
not [Ab] realizing that they ought to practice some sort of artistic skill at least first, if not [B] explicitly.
Tell me about the [G] drug scene at Max's.
[Ab]
There were – [A]
actually, any kind of drug you [B] wanted was available from [Abm] somebody there.
Most [A]
people [Bb] took drugs openly.
