Indeed, happy first birthday to the eye-liner-tastic thread!

Looking forward to when it's old enough for me to buy it a JD & Coke and a pint of diesel.

Yep, in just over 2 hours (or just over 1 hour, as the time hasn't been re-set on this site!).

I shall raise a glass of JD later this evening and maybe listen to some Dogs D'Amour to mark this occasion

Barry's Disco should've organised a 1st Birthday bash

I took your lead Rich and cracked open a bottle of Bulleit bourbon that I've had since last Christmas! Failed to listen to the Dogs though, instead opting to watch The Bank Job (which does at least have 'Get It On' through the opening credits).

Maybe try snorting the Horlicks powder next time. Could be the best buzz you're ever had ....

Have just started reading Arthur Kane's autobiography I, Doll: Life & Death with the New York Dolls. It only covers the 18 months from forming the Dolls through to Billy Murcia's death, with his wife then writing an extended epilogue covering life from that point.

Written very much in an Arthur-esque style (if you've seen the excellent New York Doll documentary then you can easily imagine him speaking what's written on the page), but littered with inconsistencies and jumping around in chronological terms, it's not going to win any literary awards but for fans of the New York Dolls it's definitely worth a read. After all, there are gradually fewer and fewer members left alive to tell the story.

His dislike for David Johansen is particularly evident (Arthur wrote the book between 1980-2002, so before the reunion shows in 2004), not least as he doesn't even get mentioned until page 60, by which time the Dolls have played countless shows and are fast on their way to becoming the darlings of the city.

I really want to get a copy of this, I can imagine Arthur Kane has a good tale to tell.
