RE: Johnny



I always heard it as "heroin".   I think it makes more sense in the context
of the song.

Patti, as we all know, is first and foremost a poet......  I  have always 
felt that she wrote "heroine", but understood that some would hear  "heroin"
and 
that was just fine with her-  that it was perfect for the two  meanings to 
resonate and intertwine.  xxo- Seena
