   Twenty years later in Toronto, Canada, Johnny Blitz sits across from me drinking a coke. He lights my cigarette. We begin.
   
   Stefania: Do you mind if we start with the stabbing?
   
   Blitz: Not at all.

   Blitz: It was great to get that kind of support.
   
   Stefania: What was John Belushi like?
   
   Blitz: A drunken, drugged out, great guy. What can I say? He played drums with the Dead Boys a lot. I met him back in '76. He used to come by CBGBs, and we'd hang out.

   Blitz: No, no-physically. I swear, she's just got a big head.
   
   Stefania: I know that you could go on, but any favorite stories about Stiv Bators?
   
   Blitz: That guy would get laid more than any human being I have ever met in my life. He was a little man, but he was literally hung down to his knees- a freak of nature!
