39 years ago today, john carpenters horror film ‘Christine’ was released. it was based off of a book of the same name Stephen King. that’s where i first heard this song. after researching the artist, i found that he had a prominent career in the early 1950s, but died by accidental suicide. story has it that he was backstage with some friends and was playing which a gun, which wasn’t unusual. his girlfriend (?) told him to be careful, and johnny said “it’s not even loaded, see?”, put the gun to his head, and pulled the trigger. when he died he was only beginning to gain fame, and a prominent career most likely would have followed.
