1 " — He's {Sid Vicious] not nearly as threatening as I thought he'd be," David [Nancy Spungen's brother] observed. —He's too zonked.[...]— At least she's calm around him, I said. —Motherly, almost.[...]We went to bed. As he turned out the light Frank said, — Every time I look at the two of them, I keep thinking the same thing.— What's that?— That neither one of them looks like they're long for this world, he said sadly.I couldn't sleep. I just lay there in the darkness, thinking, groping toward some kind of grasp on Nancy's relationship with Sid, her only lasting relationship.They were two lost souls who had found each other. Their relationship came out of their inability to find what they wanted in the outside world. They were on the same wavelength. They fit each other's needs.Both had trouble getting along with most people. Both were troubled and angry. Sid had the capacity to lash out in anger at others. Nancy tended to direct her anger at herself. She needed to have everything her way. Sid needed to have somebody tell him what to do. [...]They were dependent on each other. They cared for each other. To them, what they had together was genuine love. "
