[bomp] DOLLS CONCERT IN BOSTON LAST NIGHT

[POKEMONOJEFF <pokemonoman@xxxxxxx>]

HERE'S AN UNSOLICITED "REPORT" BUT PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT
MY ALL CAPS IS OFFENSIVE AND THAT MY OPINIONS ARE SURELY GOING
MAKE YOU WANT TO ARGUE AND DISAGREE. I KEEP SEEING THOSE REALLY BITCHY AND
FAGGY LITTLE SNUBS ON THE DIGEST LIST DIRECTED TOWARDS ANYBODY WHO USES ALL
CAPS, ETC....ALL I CAN SAY IS "GOOD".....IT ONLY ENCOURAGES ME TO DO MORE OF
THE SAME...AND IT REALLY "IS" FAGGY BEHAVOIR TO TRY TO ROPE EVERYBODY IJ
WITH YOUR "US GUYZ NEED TO STICK TOGETHER CRAP"...LIKE THIS IS "YOUR" DIGEST
OR SOMETHING...GUESS WHAT? AS LONG AS THIS DIGEST IS UP AND RUNNING IT
BELONGS TO "EVERYONE" WHETHER "YOU" LIKE IT OR NOT.....
OKAY HERE'S MY 1ST EVER "IN-DEPTH" (HA...HA...) 1ST HAND REPORT SO DELETE
AWAY ALL YOU WANT FUCK HEADS:

I SAW MY 1ST NEW YORK DOLLS CONCERT IN BOSTON LAST NIGHT.

I COULDN'T HACK IT ANYMORE THAT LONG DAY AT THE RANDALLS ISLAND WEENIE
ROAST...

JUST TOO LONG OF A DAY FOR "ME"....

I SPLIT AFTER BO DIDDLEY, I'D ALREADY SEEN A GREAT STOOGES CONCERT AT
ROSELAND IN AUGUST 2003 AND I DIDN'T WANT TO "COMPARE"....

 AND YEAH, I MISSED THE DOLLS, AND ARTHUR KANE HAD JUST PASSED ON....

IT JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE, I DON'T KNOW WHY
REALLY...

BUT THE GOOD NEWS:

THE NEW YORK DOLLS TOTALLY ROCKED, I THOUGHT, LAST NIGHT.

THAT BASS PLAYER FROM HANOI ROCKS IS REALLY GOOD.
THE LEAD GUITAR PLAYER
WASN'T TRYING TOO HARD TO BE THUNDERS AND FITS IN REALLY WELL.

SYLVAIN IS LIKE TOTALLY RUNNING THE SHOW, AND HE IS A REALLY NICE GUY,
THOUGH I'VE ONLY MET HIM AT A
GOONEY LYRES GIG AT CBGB'S A YEAR OR SO AGO.
JUST A NICE NORMAL AND FUNNY N.Y.C. GUY....
BUT I NEVER WOULD'VE FIGURED THAT HE COULD GET THE WHOLE THING TOGETHER
LIKE THE WAY HE HAS NOW.

HE'S REALLY, REALLY GOT THIS NEW N.Y. DOLLS GROUP ON TRACK.

JOHANNSON IS DOING A GREAT JOB. HE SINGS VERY STRONG, REALLY WELL. AND HE
KNOWS HOW TO BE THE N.Y. DOLLS FRONTMAN IN HIS SLEEP, LOOKS GREAT JUST IN
THE SAME WAY THAT IGGY LOOKS REALLY GREAT NOW AS WELL.

IT'S LIKE A CONTEST, I GUESS BETWEEN IGGY, JAGGER, JOHANNSON, AND MAYBE EVEN
TYLER(?) TO SEE WHO CAN DO IT THE LONGEST(?)...I DON'T KNOW...

I HAD NEVER REALLY SEEN THEM EXCEPT ON THE ORIGINAL KIRCHNER T.V. CONCERT
BACK IN LIKE 1973 OR 1974..I FORGET. WE HAD ALL THOSE MERCURY L.P.'S IN
DARIEN WHEN THEY WERE RELEASED....AND I'M, IN A WAY, KINDA GLAD I WAITED....

I'D HAD ONE OR TWO RUN-INS WITH JERRY NOLAN YEARS AGO AND HE WAS A VERY NICE
GUY...BIG DEAL RIGHT?.....
JOHNNY THUNDERS WAS A FUNNY GUY
I HAD NO IDEA HOW TALENTED HE WAS...THAT'S BECAUSE I'M SLOW TO REALIZE THAT
KINDA STUFF A LOT OF THE TIME(S)......
WE SHARED A DRESSING ROOM WITH HIM AT THE PANDORAS BOX FESTIVAL IN ROTTERDAM
IN 1984 AND HE HAD GONE "SOLO" WITH HIS GREAT AND AT THE TIME, UNAPPRECIATED
"HURT ME" CAREER.
THAT L.P. WAS VASTLY UNDERAPPRECIATED, WITH GREAT SONGS THAT HAVE STOOD THE
TEST OF TIME....

HE COULD BE SUCH A WHINY "SOMEBODY GET ME A JOINT...." KINDA GUY...I JUST
DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HIS "SENSE OF HUMOR"....

I GUESS HE WAS A PRETTY FUNNY GUY BUT SOMETIMES THE "PERSONA" THREW ME
OFF...THAT'S NORMAL.

LAST NIGHT, THE DOLLS DID A TRUELY RESPECTFUL AND HIGH ENERGY JOB OF KEEPING
THE DOLLS THING BEFORE THE CROWD/PUBLIC AND EVEN IF YOU FELT THAT THE OTHER
GUYZ WERE MISSING, THE "DOLLS" WERE

STILL THERE....AND THE TWO ORIGINAL MEMBERS ARE REALLY, REALLY PULLING IT
OFF....
THE DRUMMER WAS REALLY GOOD BUT WITH A
"SHAVED HEAD"...THE VISUALS WERE, WELL.
THERE'S ROOM FOR THAT I SUPPOSE...

AH....WHO CARES...IT SOUNDED GREAT....
