Too Much Junkie Business

I guess it should come as no surprise, given the way he lived his life, but Johnny Thunders is in the news again for all the wrong reasons. Thunders, the legendary New York Dolls guitar player, died of a drug overdose in 1991, leaving behind a paltry four grand and one hell of a mess. That small sum was parlayed into several hundred thousand dollars by his sister, the estate administrator, which has brought all of his remaining family and heirs out of the woodwork looking for a piece. His songwriting royalties are likely next.
