LINKS FOR THE EVENING: I'm a little busy with the dissertation group and a fellowship thing, but I've had this in mind for some time, and now is as good as any to post it. As artistic progressions go, this is a particularly weird one:*
David Johansen in The New York Dolls, "Jet Boy." If it sounds a bit like Aerosmith in the mid-70s (as it does to me), that would be because Aerosmith and the Dolls toured together in 1973-74; which is to say, Aerosmith completely ripped them off.
David Johansen as Buster Poindexter. Sadly, the youtube video of "Hot Hot Hot" is gone, and this is not quite the abomination that is, but it's still really, really weird. I blame the 80s.
David Johansen as grizzled blues cat and historical preservationist.
*Did I do this already? Eh, probably worth doing again.
