>Beyond the Doll's two albums, there's certainly not much evidence of that floating around<
Oh dear.
I have to apologize to both FPM and Purry. You see, I've been a bad friend to Mr. Monkey. I have amidst my archives, several documents that I don't think that I've turned Flea on to. Yet. I must rectify that soon.
I need to play a 3 disc set of Johnny Thunders stuff called "Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory" for him.
Honest Flea, some of JTs best and most influential work came well after the Dolls. That does not diminish what he did with the Dolls...I don't think anything can diminish that. But I'd certainly rather listen to JT's Heartbreakers and solo stuff than David Jo's stuff from the same period. I don't know when David Jo turned into the great white American bluesman...but I'm pretty sure it was after Johnny died.
And Purr is right about Arthur and his health problems following the Rodney King riots. I don't know why David Jo turned his back on Killer Kane back then. Maybe he had a valid reason. I guess David Jo doesn't really owe anyone an explanation. Obviously Arthur must have bought it though because they played together again. But you gotta admit...it looks really bad. Refusing to help a friend in need is pretty low.
HOWEVER!
I hate heroin. I deal with junkies and junkie crime and overdoses on a daily basis. I lost my sympathy for them about an hour after I started at 911. No one can blame anyone other than Johnny Thunders for what happened to Johnny Thunders. That is a simple fact.
I'm not in the "Thunders" camp, nor am I in the "David Jo" camp. None of the people involved are perfect. I simply take it all at face value. I had big fun at a jumpin' rock n roll show. The people that I was with had big fun. Everyone got home safe, and we have a great memory to put our arms around. It simply does not matter to me what the band called themselves. It is what it is.
And Syl wanted in my pants. |

Good thread!
Good fight!
Has anybody heard the Blue Sky LP (came out on a CD w/muchos bonos trackos) of David Johansen Live at Max's KC in '78? Thunders makes an appearance and it is very touching, much better than their later reunion one-off with Peter Parrett in attendance.
In my opinion neither DJ nor JT was capable of scaling the mutual heights they were able to achieve. I also will opt for the occasional shining beacon of transcendence rather than the "merely brilliant". But I don't think that you're not a rock and roll fan if your opinion differs from mine on that score. I will, however, note: "Whatcha want is a plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint who's going to sit through the madness and always act so quaint. . . Oh baby yeah yeah yeah . . ."
Shame on you all for not recalling that the real reason the NYDolls were so monstrous was that Jerry Nolan beat the skins. Has Charlie Watts taught you naught about the true soul of a rock and roll band?
And don't feed me any Billy Murcia bullshit, neither.

Cool, I can't wait to hear that stuff. I know there's supposed to be good stuff out there, but everything I've ever seen or heard by him is either glorifying junk or ruined by junk or both.
And I'll show you a few minutes of the video I have of him being a big embarrassing junked-out mess - Brownie got it from a penpal from Japan who was friends with Johnny. It's evidently supposed to be quite collectable stuff. Bootleg videos and TV appearances and stuff. It SUCKS. I guess you had to be there, or know him, or something.
I guess you COULD blame Keith Richards for Johnny being a big ol' junkie mess, 'cause Johnny obviously wanted to out-Keef Keef.
Whatever, I really don't care much. Like I said, I shoulda just posted the review of the show and let it stand. I was mostly just arguing for the sake of arguing. As far as whether or not David Jo did right by Arthur when he got hit in the head by a brick - why the hell would I care about that? If I required all of the musicians I listened to to be straight shooters and all-around nice guys, I would end up never listening to ANYONE because musicians are ALL scumbags if you dig deep enough! I sure as HELL wouldn't be a Stones fan!
The only thing I personally know about David is that he was really nice to Erica and me for the two or three minutes we talked to him, but that was probably because we were talking about HIM!

Hey, Baby, come here often?
Can I buy you a drink? |
|
Candace Youngblood |
No, I don't and yes, you can.

Wanna dance? |
|
Candace Youngblood |
How about I dance and you watch? It would be best that way... |
|
FPM C10 |
Any minute now someone is going to tell us to get a room.
Just like in real life!
Hey, wait a minute...are you saying I'm a lousy dancer???
Oh, wait...I AM a lousy dancer. |
|
Candace Youngblood |
You ARE a lousy dancer. Although I don't know if I've actually seen you try to really get down.
Me, on the other hand, I've got mad skills. |

Ooooooooo....Nasty is right.
We really SHOULD have mentioned Jerry Nolan. That was a massive oversight. Jerry's pistons drove the Dolls engine...just like Charlie drives the Stones.
I guess my whole point is....I'll take what I can get. If it's the remaining Dolls, Stooges, MC5...whatever. They can call themseleves whatever they like. I just wanna hear 'em play. Because the alternative is NOT hearing them play...and what fun is that?
PS. Candy...Flea can shake a tail feather. You just haven't seen him fucked up on the right mix of chemicals yet. Oh man, back in the day..... |

That's the Shangri-La's...and gorgeous was the proper adjective. Didja catch Syl making motorcycle noises? Hilarious. |
