This is a segment of a longer recording made in 1972 for an unidentified radio station where Johnny, in brief grabs, introduces himself and gives his thoughts on various social issues. In this extract, he talks about the influence of television on children, whether drugs should be legalised, the pressures of fame and the value of friendship and his thoughts on God, including whether or not God might be a woman.
