The New York Dolls were before my time, a bit, but I did see David Johansen several times in college and he was awesome. With mannerisms and style reminiscent of Jagger, his repertoire included some Dolls tunes, like "Personality Crisis", plus "Funky, But Chic", "Frenchette" and "Donna". Saw him a couple of years back at B.B. King's in NYC. He's also done alot of acting, notably on the HBO series, "Oz". Not a fan of his Buster Poindexter days, when he had the mega-hit, "Hot, Hot, Hot". Still, I love Johansen. Reminds me of my college days, so long ago. Here's audio of David performing "Donna":

Well, I can proudly say that I saw the New York Dolls when they toured behind their debut album....so I am showing my age. My rock and roll hero of all time, Todd Rundgren, produced that wonderful album... Todd just produced their brand new album at his studio in Hawaii. I will be seeing Todd on April 21 and hope to catch the Dolls if they hit Boston!
