The cover has a headline about Johnny's story, but no photo on the cover:

Johnny Depp
On being an Outsider

The 3-page article inside is made up mostly of quotes from previous interviews. Not much new as far as the text and most of the photos. However, this black & white photo is one I hadn't seen before. There's discussion on other sites as to whether that's Jennifer Grey in the photo or not. The photo is supposedly taken at a nightclub in Miami in late 1988 which would coincide with the time frame Johnny and Jennifer were together. Based on discussions on JDZ.com, the guy in the photo is believed to be either Chris Bacon from the Z-Cars or Jimmy Gambone from Slyder. Both are bands that played in S. Florida at the same time The Kids were together.

Here is a scan of one of the photos included with the article - scan from Psychoo on FlickR:

The caption on the photo says: 'All the hoopla, where the press try to stop you living your life, can be exhausting. You're followed everywhere or looked at as some freakish oddity. I never wanted to be the guy people looked at. Even when I was in my band, The Kids, I didn't want to be the lead singer. I felt I'd been turned into a novelty, and the one time I could be myself was when I was alone. The only way I could get through that time was to drink. I piosoned myself with alcohol for years, but I've never been into drugs the way that the papers made out.
