Lazy Easter Sunday Afternoon


Who said showbiz was easy?

Last night after returning from hospital I was not well enough to perform my poems so I watched England beat Germany 3-2 and only recorded the intro to Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales.

This afternoon I feel better and hoped to record all poems from Boys Of The Empire and The Gangster Of Slang ... but after taking the picture I could not get the laptop camera to work.

NOT A HAPPY EASTER BUNNY.

Hopefully either Sam or Adam will turn up soon to take control of filming.

Vive Le Rock And GARRY JOHNSON



The current issue of Vive Le Rock which is now on sale at WHSmith features a picture and write-up about me on page 6.

My album "Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales" gets a 7 out of ten review.

I am also in the current issue of StreetSounds where my book "Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales" gets Five stars for the funny stories and x-rated because of the sexual content.

But as they say "sex sells" and the book has risen to 282 in the Amazon Listings.

This is great news for both Part 2 of "Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales" and the planned movie version.

My CD has also risen to 380 in the Amazon List.





Sex Sells



In the World of Showbiz and advertising they say that "sex sells" well I can vouch for that.

Last week a review in StreetSounds gave my book three stars for entertainment, 5 stars for funny stories but  `attacked` the sexual content.

Another showbiz slogan is "no such thing as bad publicity".

Well I have just gone onto Amazon and Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales has risen to 282 in the Charts.

This means a surge in sales since the review.

So part 2 will feature a lot more `sexy secrets`.

While on Amazon I checked out the CD which has gone up from 511 to 380.

It should rise further as the current issue of Vive Le Rock has given it 7 out of ten.

There is also a very good write-up about me on Page 6.

Onwards and upwords.

The Garry Johnson Football Book


Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales (Part 2)


Last night I met up with my oldest mate, school friend and `partner in crime` growing up and during the Teenage Years.

I realised I`d forgotten so many great stories so Vere will be my advisor for Part Two.

When Footballers Had Long Hair






WHEN FOOTBALLERS HAD LONG HAIR
                                WHO STOLE OUR GAME ?


Just started writing my new book which highlights how the posh prawn sarnie brigade stole the beautiful game from the Working Class.

The first line:

"For me it started with Georgie Best"




Last Night I Felt Like A Adult

Last night I felt old and like a adult.

I had dinner with SAM and for the first time my mum met his girlfriend (future wife).

It felt weird as I was a guest in there home.

I had been on my own many times but taking my mum and her husband along `freaked me out` and took me back to when I was in Sam`s shoes.

This time I wasn`t the host or in charge of the future and it felt strange.

I enjoyed myself and tried my best to be the `life and soul of the party` but at the same time tried to take a `back seat`.

This was "Sam`s And Lauren`s Big Night" and I was not the `star of the show`.

I still cracked jokes and told my many funny stories but last night I handed over the baton.

Sam is now the Head of the family.

I just want to live long enough to see my first Grandchild.

With A Lot Of Help From ROD STEWART

Part One of my trilogy `Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales` was written with a background soundtrack of David Bowie, The Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Jam.

The second part is using the songs and interviews of Rod Stewart,

Only Ziggy Stardust and David Bowie mean more to me then Rod The Mod.

I have always had a `split personality` .

The arty side of my character is obsessed with Ziggy Stardust, fast drugs and all things outrageous, avant garde and liberal.

My `other half` is all about Rod Stewart, slim blondes, fast drugs and rock `n`  roll.

To be honest writing `Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales` was fun whereas as part two is a bit of a chore.

At times it even feels like work.

So to lift the boredom of trawling through documents and making sure it reads like a `Sworn Statement` I`m lifting quotes from Rod Srewart interviews.

A perfect example is the interview with Piers Morgan.

I have borrowed all the quotes from 28 minutes and 30 seconds into the interview because Rod explains it better then me.

As with him it was my ego that was hurt and had nothing to do with any feelings for my ex-wife...it is true I loved her...but never as much as I loved myself.

The truth is my reaction had very little to do with her betrayal ... and Rod says "it happens every day of the week" .

He is correct as there are very few men or women who haven`t cheated on a wife or husband.

What made our divorce different was that Julie added bullying to her serial adultery.

I have hated bullies all my life be they corrupt coppers, arrogant schoolteachers, perverted social workers, scumbag lawyers or bent judges.

My ex-wife thought she was `cock of the North` and swaggered around like a soap opera victim when in fact she was the guilty party.

As the official documents prove she made false statements to every branch of authority from solicitors to the police to social workers.

She admitted on oath in one court that she HAD starred in porno movies and then LIED to another court that she had NOT.

At first she told social workers her boyfriend had not `violently threatened and verbally sexually abused` our children ... and then in 2008 told another "It`s true he did ... Sam and Adam were telling the truth"

Adding "I want him shot".

Ours would have been a normal, boring and middle of the road divorce if `child abuse` and `bullying` had not been involved.

I chose to expose all the lies and fight the false allegations.

I hope after reading extracts from all the official documents you will agree I was right in taking on and beating the corrupt system.

Vital information for those who`ve not had the miss-fortune of attending Family Courts or having to deal with vile and evil social workers.

Family Courts are held in secret. There is no jury, no media and no public gallery.

This is not to protect children it is so that judges, solicitors and social workers can pervert the course of justice.

I grew up hating the police and my opinion of them has softened.

One of my oldest friends became a detective in the Flying Squad and a family friend is currently climbing the ranks.

But my DNA is still `anti-police` ... but having said that ... the police are not corrupt when it comes to interviews as all are conducted above board and on tape.

Try asking a social worker for a taped interview.

Many times I placed a tape machine on the table and they refused to speak as they are terrified of the truth.

Most social workers are lying scum ... too dis-honest for the police and not `bright enough` to be a corrupt solicitor.

Family Courts are to use a Football analogy "Conference League" whereas The High Court is "Champions League".

As my book shows if you want Justice go to The High Court.

I went 5 times and on each occasion got a "Fair Hearing" and followed by justice.

LORD Justice Munby ruled I could name my sons in public and warned the Essex County Council brief  "not to appeal"  as he would not change his mind.

Lord Justice Thorpe ruled I was entitled to see all the `secret documents`.

Not only were Essex County Council ordered to handover the 3000 plus documents but they were given 28 days to deliver them to my door.

The facts you read in this book come from those `secret documents` I was never meant to see.

So my advice to all parents (Mums and dads) is never back down and don`t give in.

As His Honour Judge Moloney said to a Essex County Council barrister "Mr Johnson is not like other people and  is like a dog with a bone.

He will not go away.

I order you to handover all documents"

Sam was standing next to me and when he cheered was verbally abused by the same barrister.

The Judge asked for an apology ... but not from Sam ... the barrister had to apologize to Sam.

What a difference 7 years make.

When it started in 2005 I had my ex-wife, the police, social services and a corrupt family court system against me.

It 2012 it ended with Sam getting an apology and me getting all my documents.

But what did His Honour Judge Moloney say "Mr Johnson is not like other people"

I hadn`t finished.

The Punk Poet went back to court six more tines.

I got the ban on all the movies ... including Saturday Night Specials lifted.

The Gagging Order on "Till Death Us Do Part" revoked.

In December 2013 my campaign for justice suffered a major set-back.

I was due back in court to `fight for the right` to see my daughter when I was struck down by a fifth heart attack which left me `clinging to life` and spending 29 days in a coma,

But as always with me fete stepped in and my brush with death inspired me to write and record "Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales".

This book wont only reveal what went on behind closed doors but confirm why I was correct in NEVER taking "No" for a answer.

The Truth The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth ( 2004-2016 )




Next week I start work on the follow-up to `Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales`.

The sequal is also a updated version of `Till Death Us Do Part`.

This is the story that explains how The Punk Poet became known worldwide as The Facebook Dad.

It starts in September 2004 and with the help of Legal, Medical, Social Services and Police documents I can tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Unlike `Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales` it will not concentrate on the world of Showbiz or Rock and Roll.

This time instead of revealing bedroom secrets I will highlight what went on behind the closed doors of courtrooms.

It will read more like a barristers brief then a autobiography as most of the content will be lifted from the 3000 plus documents I obtained by using the Freedom Of Information Act.

Part Two starts in October 2004 when my ex-wife had a brief fling with Southend football trainer Ian Fleming.

I will take extracts from the signed and dated statement from one of my sons who caught her `kissing and cuddling` Fleming.

In October 2004 she started an affair with former pimp and self-confessed child abuser Richard Grimson.

Medical documents confirm that in December 2004 he gave her a STD and that after making her pregnant she was put on a course of birth control injections.

These facts will be supported by extracts from official documents.

The sequel will not be `rock and roll`  and more like a Text Book then the roller-coaster romp of `Till Death Us Do Part` or `Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales`.

I will reveal all the false allegations made in various documents to both the police and Social Services.

False allegations that years later official documents confirmed were a tissue of lies.

Sworn statements confirm that one of my sons walked into a room and caught his mother half-naked and having sex with Richard Grimson.

A fact that was accepted as fact by both the Court and Social Services.

Another signed and dated statement by one of my sons confirms that the last time he saw his mother she hit him so hard that his back was covered in red marks that the following day turned to big bruises.

Other statements confirm that my ex-wife lied to both the police and Social Services about my mental health.

She lied that I was "mad, bad, dangerous and planning to kill both her and her perverted boyfriend`.

Three official reports by a Dr Black and a further 16-page report by Dr Sian Llewellyn-Jones confirm I was not `mad or mentally ill`.

All reports will be printed in full.

As will the letter from Helen Lincoln The Head of Essex Social Services who confirms the vile and perverted behavior of her boyfriend.

Another document confirms that my ex-wife after years of calling my sons "lying little shits" confessed to a Social Worker that they were both telling the truth.

She admitted on-the-record and I have it in `Black and White` that she knew her boyfriend did violently threaten and verbally sexually abuse her children.

Legal documents and Police statements confirm she refused to press charges against Richard Grimson.

I will print the Southend Court document where my ex-wife admits to starring in pornographic films and posing for x-rated photographs.

The emails from Nicholas Lightbown confirming her past as a pub stripper and reveal how she lied to Basildon Police that I had posted her porn films onto the Internet.

A legal letter confirms it was not me and that I was 100 per cent innocent.

The sequal will also concentrate on all my court appearances all over Essex and at The High Court.

My trips to Parliament and how the stress led to five heart attacks and 29 days in a coma.

Part two of my story will not be published before October but because of my poor health I am writing it now.

I am living on borrowed time and dead men cant talk so I want everything on-the-record before I die.

`Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales` was showbiz and this book is all about a Punk Poet fighting for justice and revealing how he became known all around the world as The Facebook Dad.

I will of course mention my Album, Film, Stage comeback and `bits and bobs` to do with Rock and Roll/Showbiz...but Part 2 is all about putting the record straight and the facts on the table.

Reviews of Punk Rock Stories and Tabloid Tales by Garry Johnson - Alibris UK

Reviews of Punk Rock Stories and Tabloid Tales by Garry Johnson - Alibris UK

The Punk Poet And The Rasta


PUNK ROCK STORIES AND TABLOID TALES (Book & CD) has reunited me with two old mates.

My oldest friend from school, my teenage wild days and my partner in various crimes and capers has just been in touch.

As has my old buddy from the West End wild days.

I am talking Vere and Hughie.

The stories I could have told ... but didn`t ... as when you come from my background you dont drop people in it or betray a confidence.

Vere is now a Rasta and Hughie is a millionaire.


Mother`s Day For The Punk Poet


Today I got my first Mother`s Day card !!!

At first I thought `hilarious` but as both Sam & Adam said "For ten years you have been both mum and dad to us".

This got me thinking and they are right. For more then a decade as well as being a single parent I have also taken on and beaten the CORRUPT family courts and Essex Social Services.

The picture of the three of us from the Basildon Evening Echo is dated July 2005 and will feature in part 2 of "Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales" .

The sequel of my life story will be published in October and unlike Part One will only concentrate on November 2004 to the present day.

I understand why both boys decided I was worthy of a Mother`s Day card as since June 2005 it is me who has cared for them single-handed.

In the past 11 years apart from me only great friends like Diane, Justine, Kelly and Jodie have cooked, washed or ironed for them.

All this kindness will feature in Part Two as will `more and more` graphic details about brown, newton and grimson.

The sequel will also lift paragraphs and extracts from official reports that reveal how there former mother tried to get them locked-up in secure units 100 miles from Essex.

I will also mention my trips to Parliament, The High Court and reveal how I became known worldwide as "The Facebook Dad".
