Sad to hear. Johansen, Sylvain Sylvain, and Johnny Thunders just oozed "cool" in the most New York way, I think only the Velvet Underground and Ramones are on the same level, but I'm probably super biased. Crossed paths with Sylvain many times opening for him when he would be out on the road and always loved sitting around in the green room listening to his stories about the Dolls. Definitely feeling my age today... but I guess we all do when we start seeing the artists we grew up with pass away.
