AIN'T IT THE TRUTH!!!! 3 of my ALL-TIME fave bands, and I can count myself in as also being lucky enough to see all of these bands play in the last few years. They should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame right now! I saw the Dolls and The Stooges both play at Little Steven's Underground Garagefest a few summers ago on Randall's Island in the same night! That was the first time I saw the Dolls perform (just a few weeks after Arthur Kane passed away) and they were fuckin AMAZING. David Johansen is one of the most charismatic front men ever. Better than Jagger!!!!!!! About a year or so later I saw the Dolls at Irving Plaza and they were equally amazing. (please see the documentary on Arthur Kane, "New York Doll" if you haven't done so already.) I saw DKT-MC5 at The Bowery Ballroom about 3 years ago. I LOVE the MC5 and I was really impressed with Brother Wayne and the boys and how they gave more than a fitting tribute to their own music. That night I also discovered that Brother Wayne is probably one of the most unsung guitar heroes of the last 40 years. His playing is second to none of his rock contemporaries. A real master of the Chuck Berry school of rock players. These guys haven't retired because they can't help but rock. To all of the nay-sayers I ask, 'what will YOU be doing when you're 60 years old???!!!!'
