what Johhny was really saying

when he composed the song, "No Fun,"
was "No Sentiment,"

it was an anthem totally antithetical to self-pity and anti-pollyanna.

It was a song about the myth that love exists in the world for people who innocently pine for it.

It's also an anthem to the nerverending trauma of lonliness,
or,
those who haven't the bravery to weather lonliness.
