Rock star who comes to a bad end in the 1976 song "Johnny Cool" by the Steve Gibbons Band, off their Any Road Up album.
Lyrics
Yeah. This is a ballad of Johnny Cool
Yes he was singing rough rock
Drivin a smooth Rolls
Bought a big house
and sold a good soul
He had a good time
Blowing his gold
Rock and roll Johnny
Rock and roll Johnny Cool
Well he made a right move
met the right friend
Hit the right road
Caught the right trend
He broke all the rules
that he could not bend
Rock and roll Johnny
Rock and roll Johnny Cool
Johnny Cool ran drank fifty slugs of whisky a day
Johnny Cool was fast and loose
Johnny Cool was always up on top of the world
Flying like a rockin goose
Fly, Johnny‚ fly
You ever see a goose fly?
Johnny cool got busted cause he trusted a fool
So Johnny Cool went on the run
Johnny Cool could do just what he wanted to do
Johnny Cool could carry a gun (bad news)
He made a wrong move and he met the wrong friend
hit the wrong road‚ turned the wrong bend
Picked up that gun and blew out his brains
Rock and roll Johnny
Rock and roll Johnny Cool
He was rock and roll Johnny
Rock and roll Johnny Cool
Rock and roll Johnny
Rock and roll Johnny Cool
Johnny Cool, yeah, Johnny Cool
