Mod Pop : Ballad of a Young Offender

Garry Johnson's life was never going to be average. He was born in Hackney, East London and spent his formative years in Borstal for young offenders where he wrote heartfelt poems that made a huge impact on those who read them. But Garry wanted more from life. Garry embraced the London Mod scene and used fast drugs and lived in squats until one day he decided to transform himself yet again into a Fleet Street journalist. Using his gift of the gab, Garry was so convincing, Piers Morgan invited him to his party at Planet Hollywood. Garry managed to secure a job writing for Sounds Magazine, which was then led by UK journalist Garry Bushell, interviewing many of the makers and shakers of the music scene at the time. Garry Johnson blagged a gold disc in 1987 and survived a Private Eye Magazine assassination in 2007. Life's twists and turns left him often on the edge of society and the law.
