Jeffrey Lee Pierce was actually a huge Blondie fan and was president of their fan club. He went into a coma from liver poisoning and died. There is more to it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Lee_Pierce. After reading that, the song makes sense, especially the last two lines.
I just read this as well. He started punk band "The Gun Club", which appears to be related to the song title. In 1996 (3 yrs before this album), Pierce died from a brain hemorrhage. Pierce was HIV positive, while also suffering from cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis, at the time of his death.
