Gimmicky New Yorks Dolls – by Helen Bach

The New York Dolls were the poster children to the Glam Rock scene.
In the 70s

The seventys were 30 years ago in case you didnt want to do the math.
30.  Thats alot of years

David Johanson was born in 1950.  Want to do that math?
Someone want to tell him maybe 60 is a bit fucking old for this schtick?
For Gods sake they look like old queens, Sylvain looks like Joe Pesci, this aint glam this
is
 fetish porn.
This is a parody.

Now…had the guys just looked themselves instead of jamming their near retirement age bodies into thrift store spandex perhaps Id still respect them

Look Im 44, and fucking proud of it.  I dont dress like I’m 20, I dont try to pretend Im still that punkrock groupie girl.  Nope. Why? cuz its pathetic to see an old fuck pretending theyre not
And Im not even 60 yet.

So thes guys have a new album coming out March 15 on 429 Records.   It has a really cool name “Dancing Backwards in High Heels”.

See trying to live the gimmick is just a mess.  Im embarrased for you, do you think youre looking cool?  Do your grandkids think the same?

Music can redeem. 
 Give up the sad sad attempt of recapturing the cool of your youth and become the cool of your adulthood.  You deserve it. 
 Dudes youre THE NEW YORK DOLLS you should be fucking comfortable enough in your cool to realize it on your own. 
 Youre too fucking amazing to be so fucking stupid looking.

Youre tarnishing your own image. 

Go fucking change back into your streetclothes.
  Your fans will love you more and laugh less.
sorry I gotta put up two.. its so freaking gross.

Johanson looks like the serial killer from Silence of the fucking Lambs…
