LUCY Rebekah J Listen To Your Dad



Listen to your Dad at 5pm this afternoon.

Tune into Basildon Hospital Radio 1287 am

It was recorded Thursday so I cant remember what I said ... but I know I was `very funny` and told some great stories.

I was in a very good mood as earlier that day they agreed to stop giving me the tablets that were making my hair fall out.

They had no choice as I refused to keep taking them ...health comes second to having a barnet ... two great quotes which I mention in the interview.

Kate Moss "You can never be too skinny"

and

Rod Stewart "I couldn`t live without my hair"

If you listen and dont send a email afterwards then I`ll give up trying to make contact ... the TRUTH is ... if this interview doesn`t convince you I am not a `bad person` then nothing will.

In FACT the interview confirms what a great bloke I really am. I`m also modest lol.

I`ll be sad ... but it will be fine if I dont hear ... as for ten years ...you`ve been fed a diet of lies by the taylor family ... the welsh mob and that ginger dog ... not your fault ... as you were too young to separate fact from fiction ... but you are older now with a mind of your own.

You are old enough and smart enough to understand that people who never liked me between 1989-2005 are not going to tell the truth or say nice things about me.

That is why they welcomed grimson with open arms and why I wrote the book as I wanted you to know the truth , the whole truth and nothing but the truth ...as dead men cant talk.

The fact is you was brought up to hate me ... maybe you still do ... but that is not your fault ... as I explain in the book I never got on with my `outlaws` because they were Nazis, racist and bigots ... and because I was a Liberal they hated me from Day One.

Ask Sam and Adam they took the mickey out of me because I was Half Irish which makes Sam, Adam and you quarter Irish.

I am pretty confident that if you still dont want to contact me now as a teenager ... that you will when you`re a young woman ... as all children want to know there dad ... that is a fact of life.

But if this latest interview fails to do the trick I will back off ... so you can concentrate on school, having fun and enjoying life ... but I am always here for you.

It`s all in the book. I spent 10 years going to courts all over Essex and London fighting for the right to see you ... but the taylor family , the welsh mob and the ginger bow wow did everything to stop that happening.

Anyway never forget that all you`ve been told about me is a `pack of lies`. I am ... as will come across in the interview and the book ... a nice guy and very funny bloke with a heart of gold and not a single nasty bone in his body.

I have joked my way through life and will continue to do so until the end.

You only live once ... so always have a laugh ... and always see the funny side ... when you are older ask anyone who knows me or has met me and they will say the same.

Even my enemies ... well some of them say nice things ... my biggest enemy apart from grimson is paul wellings ... who you probably know as PJ ... well he writes in his book "Garry Johnson is the funniest bloke I have ever met in my life"

And that is from a friend of your mother.

So you see ... if you want to make contact ... you will be getting to know a `very nice bloke` who thinks the world of you.

Ten minutes, 10 hours , ten days , ten months ... I cant promise I`ll still be here in ten years ... but for as long as I`m alive I am only a phone call , a email or text message away.










The Punk Poet In Basildon Hospital


THE PUNK POET returns to Basildon Hospital as a guest on the radio show and not as a patient.

The interview is broadcast as 5pm today.

A sixty minute chat about the book and CD.

You can hear three songs from the album.

THE NEW FACE OF ROCK AND ROLL

FROM OXFORD STREET TO GRETNA GREEN

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

Before each song I explain the lyric ...

Track 1 is about a new David Bowie or Rod Stewart

Track 2 is about young lovers fleeing the violence and civil war of London and running off to marry in Gretna Green.

Track 3 is a ballad and moving love song that I genuinely dedicate to my ex-wife Julie Johnson... in Showbiz you have to know your audience ... so I am the perfect Gent ... I only say nice things about her ... though I was tempted to mention the `films` lol ... but it was not the time or the place.

Was I sincere or having a laugh?

You the audience must decide lol...

My First Bad Review


Just got my first negative review.

Do I sulk or use it as publicity?

Let me explain.

The critic is my mum.

She just phoned and said "I`m not impressed and certainly wont be showing it to my friends"

"Why not " I asked laughing?

My mum snapped "I don`t like it"

Adding:

"There is too much bad language, sex and drugs"

Now I could use that quote.

In a way it`s perfect as to be honest she is not my target market.

Garry Johnson And Julie (Part 2 )


I ain`t got a clue if you read my Blog or Tweets but in case you do just a reminder as to what I stated in both on 14th January.

I promised and gave my word that `the war was over` and that I wouldn`t mention anything about our `movies` in interviews.

Well the fact is 5 print interviews, 3 radio chats and a TV show and not once have I mentioned anything to do with `you know what`.

I gave my word and I`m sticking to it.

The image I`m projecting is `Mr Showbiz` and don`t want to be associated with anything `sleazy` or `cheap` .

What`s written in the book `stays in the book` and will not be mentioned by me in interviews.

But as always I do have a `angle`. I`d be lying if I said otherwise.

Since the death of David Bowie I am a changed man.

I know it`s a long shot but maybe for old times sake and in recognition of my `vow of silence` you`ll have a word on my behalf as I want to see a special person before I die.

Garry Johnson The Legacy Of A Cockney Rebel










Yesterday was very important as it allowed me to to add the final piece of the Garry Johnson Legacy.

Sam and Adam will find it hilarious as I hold court on a TV show and talk about my life and times as a Punk Poet.

It will be funny for them to watch when I`m no longer around.

This was also a serious side to yesterday as I wanted to leave something for Lucy.

She does not know me and because of the vile lies told by her mother and evil grandparents probably hates me more then anything in the world.

That is one of the reasons I wrote the book.

I didn`t just do it for the fame and the money.

I wrote it for my daughter so when she`s older Lucy can read the truth and decide if she was right to grow up hating me.

Now because of yesterday she has the complete set.

Long after I`ve gone Lucy will be able to read about her Dad and hear him speaking, telling jokes and making people laugh.

I am leaving behind a book, a record, a film with Sandie West, a live radio interview and three TV shows on SKY ARTS.

As I write Lucy does not know what I sound like or how I `talk` with my hands.

She isn`t aware her Dad has a Cockney accent like Danny Dyer and walks like Ray Winstone.

That is why leaving a legacy is so important.

I just hope when she`s older that Lucy reads my autobiography Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales.

I want her to know the Gospel truth.

All will be explained like why it is that Adam does not talk to his mother or the taylor family.

I reveal in the book how Adam walked in on his half-naked mother having sex with her perverted boyfriend richard grimson in the lounge at Bridge Road.

Sam does not talk to his mother because on the day she left his mother beat him up. She hit him so hard his back was covered in red marks and imprints of her fists.

In the book I pull no punches and just tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

This is not the time or the place for me to reveal everything about the vile verbal sexual abuse carried out by the child abusing boyfriend of julie johnson.

It is all in the book, every incident in graphic detail but a blog is not secure enough for me to repeat things here.

I have to be discreet in case my daughter stumbles across this blog by accident.

But the fact is I have left a legacy on which I would love to be judged.

Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales is not a `whitewash` of me and a `hatchet job` on julie johnson.

I tell the truth about both of us `warts and all` as there is no point in writing a autobiography unless you are prepared to tell all.

And believe me I tell everything about everything.

That is why my book is a page turner and receiving rave reviews.













Garry Johnson On Television



Yesterday I spent the afternoon filming three TV shows for SKY ARTS.

A tribute to David Bowie

My life in Punk Rock

The history of The Stone Roses.

All three will be broadcast in August / September.

But then as with most things in my life fate stepped in.

The producer loved my accent and auditioned me for TV voice overs and I passed the audition.

I mentioned Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales in every interview and as I write my autobiography is being featured in a major UK newspaper.
