Johnny and David

1973 Johnny waits for some girl to get off the phone so he can get into place for Toshi Matsuo’s photo. Syl not-so-subtly encourages her to go elsewhere. Left to right: Arthur Kane, Jerry Nolan, Syl Sylvain, annoying unknown girl, Johnny Thunders, and David Johansen (barely seen behind Johnny). Photo by Toshi.
