Narcolepsy is a disease which causes a person to suddenly fall asleep, anytime and anywhere.

I was attempting a bad joke at the expense of Johnny Thunders, who, like many junkies, would sometimes nod off in the middle of a conversation, sexual act, etc. I don't know that Johnny ever *really* nodded off in the middle of a song that he wasn't singing, but occasionally he'd do a convincing impression.

I only remember one of the "smart-proper" guys songs. Reelin Down Around My Hat or something. It was a big hit over here. Why did they leave the folkrock genre?

What the hell is narcolepsy?

I understand. Johnny Thunders sometimes had the same problem mid-song
during Heartbreakers sets when Richard Hell was singing. Narcolepsy is a
terrible curse.
