The NY Daily News ‘Gatecrasher’ Gossip Page with Frank Digiacomo describes the reaction of Weir's mother to how he was portrayed in the article, as well as his unhappiness with how his friends were portrayed; as does this Blog I wrote a few days ago;
Wheres My Koppy's Blog 'I’m Glad Someone Finally Said Something About the NY Mag Piece'.
The following two Blogs by my friend Misfit Mimes do an excellent job of describing what is wrong with this article:
MisfitMimes Blog 'Guuuuuurrrrrrlll'
MisfitMimes Blog '#Youre A Car'
However, despite the issues with the article itself, some of the photographs of Weir alone, especially in the print version, are worth the price of the magazine.
Enjoy looking!
These four photographs accompanied the article itself:
This gorgeous head shot appeared on the first page of the article.
Page Two of the article gives us this wonderful photo!
Page Three gives us this 'Babushka' photograph.
Page Four gives us this uh, 'interesting' photo!
The following seven photos appeared on the NY Magazine website a few days after the article as a slideshow of outtakes:
The beauty of Outtake Number Four is hard to even describe!
Outtake Number One evokes 1970s era Bruce Springsteen.
Outtake Number Two could be a rock album cover photograph!
Outtake Number Six is just...beautiful!
Update September 28th 2010: Photograph of Johnny with photographer Cass Bird!

Oh, you are so right about these photos:-) I love the many different aspects of Johnny that are captured (I do wish he would quite smoking!)
I've just reread the NY Mag article. The few corrections made did nothing to change the overall poor writing:-(
PumaJ,
In order to change the overall poor writing, as you describe it, would take a major rewrite, and not just some correction of factual errors...
Yes, the photos are wonderful! (I wish he would quit smoking also!)
