I knew zero about the band New York Dolls. I knew even less about the effect it had on a whole generation of very good bands. However, this isn't about music. This is about the documentary "New York Doll," which follows Arthur "Killer" Kane for a time.
Also in the film: Morrissey, Bob Geldolf, and a myriad other stars.
I HIGHLY recommend watching this. I offered the preface above as a way of saying, "Even if you don't like music, this documentary will interest you."
I will say two things going in without spoiling it:
1.) David Johanssen, aka Buster Poindexter, is the lead singer for the dolls. He's frightening to view now.
2.) Bring a box of tissues. The ending is a hammer.
If you've seen it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Otherwise, find it and enjoy.
