-Good Morning bloggers
-I always struggle with knowing if Good Morning is one word or two...goodmorning good morning??
-Well after searching tirelessly on the world wide web, I've found no holidays, special events, or even celebrity birthdays taking place on July 26th
-So this panned out to be the perfect time to research Nancy Spungen
-Yep. Sid and Nancy
-THATs her

-Nancy
-Even at a young age people referred to her as "an old soul"
-From the East Coast, she was a fast talking, cosmo-girl,who didn't mesh with the mellow west coasters
-She(like so many of us)was a city girl
-Liked David Bowie, and adored the Warhol Scene
-Of all the junkies who shacked up in Warhol's factory, Andy didn't do drugs
-A favorite movie of mine is Edie Segwicks bio, revolving around life after Warhol, Factory Girl
-But chasing rabbits, NANCY
-At the University of Colorado Nancy had a boyfriend, who adored her(from what I can tell in his bio)
-They talked about music, went to shows, and got high
-Nancy and her boyfriend were arrested for selling pot to a university narc
-After she was carted off the university in a cop car, the boyfriend never saw Nancy again
-Perhaps it's for the hype, or perhaps its real, but he still seems torn over her

-Nancy moved to New York and started life as a groupie
-Groupie life:party, party, party, sleep a little, party,party,party
-In May of 1976 she checked into a rehab program and cleaned up for a while

-THEN, she met the Sex Pistols at a show, the birth of Sid & Nancy
-By 1978, Nancy was famous for her "Romeo & Juliet from Hell" romance with Sid Vicious
-Her mother Deborah recieved a phone call from Sid and Nany's Chelsea Hotel room demanding $3000 dollars. Deborah hung up
-Later that same day Nancy called her mother, apologized, and said she loved her mother and father very much
-That was the last time she called
-On October 12, 1978, Nancy was found dead in the bathroom of her Chelsea Hotel
-Sid Vicious was charged for murder
-Sid was so strung out he was surprised by her death when he became lucid, not even knowing that he had stabbed her
-Segments of a poem read at Nancy's funeral: "She saw,heard,felt what others did not and could not...She was different."

-Sid died of a suicidal overdose one year later

-A death note was found in his pocket asking to be buried in his leather jacket next to his baby
-Nancy: "If I asked you to kill me, would you?"
Sid: "I don't know. How would I do it? I couldn't live without ya"
-Just read a Sid and Nancy interview and really I think Nancy was like many girls: A good girl in love with the trendiness of a bad boy, tricking herself into believing that she'll be the one to change him or make him better। She took care of him during the whole interview। She answered many of his questions while he nodded off (claiming sleep deprivation for four days).

Although I do think there could've been real love between Sid and Nancy, love cant sustain anyone through such destruction. Quotes can be found from both of them about embracing a young death. Sid's mother poured his ashes over Nancy's grave, so in a sense they will always be together. Their stories are sad, and you can't help but feel their emptiness when reading about them, but during their short time together they seemed to complete eachother. Whether they were good, or bad for eachother, they we're what the other was looking for. Punk Rock's Romeo and Juliet is an iconic devestating love story, and while Sid and Nancy died young, the fascination of their famous relationship has not. And just as Romeo and Juliet are remembered hundreds of years after the initial publishing, perhaps perhaps Sid and Nancy will be too.
