I really liked reading this reviewer’s point of view on Juicy Fruit. I agree that Johnny is an anihero, I mean there is even a discussion at one point between Johnny and Eddie about the role of the antihero in Westerns so yeah. Johnny is weak. He is a compromised individual and he doesn’t have the kind of strength and wisdom it would have taken for him to behave better. (And folks are really not having frank, honest conversations about a lot of these issues in 1989. The gay community is still ostracizing AIDS victims in a lot of circles. Pretending nothing was happening was a common reaction.)

I am curious though. Have you had people you love really fuck up their lives? Your life? What makes you forgive them? What does redemption mean anyway?
