Jonny is the main antagonist of David Bowie's song I'm Afraid of Americans. He is a malevolent stalker that is seen viciously stalking Bowie, for presumably malicious reasons. In the rough mix of the song, Jonny is referred to as "Dummy".
He was portrayed by Trent Reznor in his only villainous role.
Biography[]
Somewhere in New York City, David Bowie is seen reading a newspaper article about how Jonny is in America. He then notices Jonny behind him and begins to run away. Jonny proceeds to chase him down. Bowie seemingly loses him for a brief moment but notices many other American people staring at him and shooting finger guns at others.
Terrified, he continues running until Jonny returns and continues chasing him. Bowie manages to find a cab. Outside, said cab is an old man pointing a finger gun to his head. Bowie is relived and begins to relax before noticing that the taxi driver is actually Jonny. Jonny stops the car and Bowie rushes out. Jonny is outside waiting for him with an invisible shotgun.
Jonny proceeds to shoot the car numerous times, barely missing Bowie with each shot. Bowie stands up and sees that not only has Jonny vanished, but the cab is unscathed. He then notices a parade group walk past with Jonny carrying a cross, staring at him.
