Garry Johnson was the first and the best of Britain's street-punk poets. A former Borstal boy, his Boys Of The Empire collection brought poetry to a whole generation of working class punks and Skins »The Voice Of Oi is unity.« he wrote. »No them and us. Just you and me. Think how strong we can be, united against society.«
Garry became a poet by accident. »I'd formed my own punk band. The Buzz Kids.« herecalls. »One night in East London we played our first and last gig »I was speeding out of my head and thought I was the future of rock 'n' roll. In my mind, I was Johnny Rotten meets Ziggy Stardust. »We had seven songs. I wanted to sing them, but I accepted I couldn't carry a tune. Then it was punk and not books that made me realise working class kids could be come stars. I saw The Sex Pistols and saw Johnny Rotten... and my life changed. I loved it all, The Pistols, The Clash, The Jam, The Buzzcocks, X Ray Spex... I like poets who can really write like Bob Dylan with »Hurricane«, Paul Weller's lyrics are my favourite poems he's a poet genius! I like Linton Kwesi Johnson and John Cooper Clarke, and early Elvis Costello as well. I admire Rotten, Weller, Costello, Dury, Bowie, Lennon. All smart people. Music is the most important thing in the world, better then football, better then drugs... My life would've been so boring without all of the bands l've mentioned already and Trojan reggae, Rod Stewart and The Faces, Roxy Music. Mott The Hoople, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan. Squeeze, Cockney Rebel and hundreds more.«
