You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

How much of a waste of talent was Johnny Thunders?  He played on the two New York Dolls records and the Heartbreakers' debut (All By Myself was always my slice), and was only 23.  Then he spent the next 16 years giving us nothing, other than You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory.  A shame for a guy whose style would suggest he was the natural torchbearer to Chuck Berry.  Ah well.  I mean, when The Replacements write a song worrying about you doing too much smack, you may have already passed into a "danger zone."
