David Johansen died at the weekend at the age of 75, meaning all founding members of The New York Dolls are now gone. The band never had a top 100 hit, but @RollingStone's critic Robert Christgau says they still changed the world. Here's his story of the band, from the first gig he attended in 1972 to the 2005 album, "Some Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This."

I was a punk rocker and a big fan of David Johansen and the New York Dolls. Fun Fact: My mom dated a very buttoned-up Republican type who was a huge Buster Poindexter fan and had *no idea* about David Johansen. #davidjohansen #busterpoindexter

More sad news from the music world - David Johansen, lead singer of the New York Dolls and also known as Buster Poindexter, has died at 75 after a battle with cancer. Johansen also appeared in "Scrooged" and "Let It Ride".

"Well, it's such a boring feeling
when you find that you’ve fallen
to a totalitarian state.
You don't know what's left,
but it don't seem right.
You just don't feel so great"

This is a nice review of Personality Crisis. The Martin Scorsese documntary / concert picture with David Johansen. I watched it tonight and really enjoyed it. I thought it was fun and sweetly sentimental. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2023-04-14/david-johansen-personality-crisis-review-showtime
