sid vicious
helen told me about an excellent documentary on sid at bbc radio six (part 1 | part 2). my favorite bit: sid asking lemmy from motorhead to teach him how to play bass, only to be finally told: "that's it, sid. you can't play bass. sorry."
this cracked me up, too: sid and johnny, after talking about how much they hate 'miserable' malcolm and 'poxy' vivienne in an interview, are asked why they tolerate them. the answer: "we like them. they're our friends."

EXTERMINATE!!
remember when we used to go every weekend to see sid and nancy at the midnight show? that was great. we'd get to the part where she talks about eating the little dog and then we'd start nodding off - like life imitating art!
oh, i have good memories of you.
everyone hug the brother.

This is just a rough patch. Things will be much better when we get to America...
We're in America. We've been here a week. New York is in America, you fuck!
heh. chloe web was way too cute to play nancy, tho. they should have used courtney for that role.
