RIP David Johansen. OMG… I sort-of met him. I gambled on the other side of the table from him at Foxwoods back-in-the-day. He laughed, smoked a big cigar, and he won like Crazy. When I left the table, every other table I gambled at that night I was a winner.
I liked his music, I liked his acting, I respected him enough not to fan-boy him. His gift to me was Good Luck.
It was an old table game. Three Card Poker (TCP). It’s not the best way to make money, but it was fun for me ( and the other players ). Kept me busy for an hour or two and away from the clanging of slot bells.
