I was thinking about the late great David Johansen and started to jot down some notes, and they got a little long so I parked them over here: https://gsaich.wordpress.com/2025/05/30/remembering-david-johansen/
FYI: the late #DavidJohansen attended a #RiseAndResist Rally

Memories hold onto illusion
'Cause we're just human
And that's all right
Duality is so confusin'
You think you're not dreamin'
Then you awake

I was traveling last week and only just heard today that David Johansen died. I don't generally like to go around eulogizing geriatric rock stars, but damn, this feels like kind of a loss.
The New York Dolls were in their prime around the time I was in the womb, but they were still local heroes in NYC even when I was a teenager (it's absurd how many Johnny Thunders wannabes you could find roaming St. Marks Place on a Friday night ca. 1994 -- well after the rest of the world had moved on from big hair).
Also, I'm not sure when cross-dressing was legalized in NYC, but if it was before the Dolls started, it wasn't long before, and they still deserve credit for jumping in head-first (in platforms!), if you ask me.
Anyways, RIP, y'old dog. Hope it wasn't too painful.
Comment voir qu'on vieillit ?
Nos idoles disparaissent... David Johansen, chanteur excentrique du non moins excentrique groupes "The New-York Dolls" et Brian James, talentueux bassiste de "The Damned" et compositeur des premiers morceaux du groupe (Les meilleurs) dont "Neat neat neat" sont décédés dans les derniers jours.
Merde.

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."

Rest In Punk Power David Johansen. It’s a double CD morning since all my NYDs are on CD. That first New York Dolls record is Gold. I got to see the Dolls on the tour at the Granada Theater years ago. It was a great show and I’m glad I went.
