Read an article in Clash Magazine (with Pete Doherty on the cover) on the New York Dolls. David Johansen discusses how Morrissey asked him to perform at Meltdown. Initially, he was hesitant to agree but said to "let him sleep on it." Morrissey called the next day and David said why not, it would be fun, and he wanted to see the other guys. Then stated that it was indeed fun.

So much for Moz never using the phone!

    The New York Dolls?

    Let's be honoust: if Morrissey wasn't into them, would anyone on this site give a flying fuck about the New York Dolls? Or Jobriath, for that matter?

    No, I thought as much.

  • Though there has been large-scale bandwagon-jumping regarding one Mr morrissey over the past year, i am afraid that on this matter i believe you to be horrendously and completely wrong. And I believe it, as always, because it is true.
    Frankly, if Morrissey can inject a little taste into the swelling masses of stupidity, i think him valiant and the ones who choose to listen wise.
    Jobriath (and The Dolls) are people about whom i, as you so crudely put it, 'give a flying fuck'and would do so with or without the aid of Morrissey. As you failed to spell 'honestly' correctly, you should not have the audacity to contradict the few intelligent people who like good music. Cole Berlin

  • ...I had hear of before I heard of Morrissey. Granted, Jobriath is shite, and I never heard of him before.

    But the Dolls, alongside Iggy Pop, started the whole punk thing off.

    (Anybody else think that they and Iggy had a LOT in commmon? Not only appearance, but pop songs with dangerous undertones?)
