They've been trending high on my rotation lately. A sad day for fans of the Dolls and of punk and glam rock/hair metal in general.Johansen was a charismatic front man and a terrific songwriter. His lyrics had much more wit than those of the pogoing punks and Spandex bands who claim The New York Dolls influenced them:
Who's the one who smokes Barefoot Contessas
Gonna tell 'em where she can roam
Who's the one who walks up Milano Street
And leaves 'em shoutin' "Yankee Go Home!"
