I’ve been a little distracted while meeting deadlines before a vacation—but here’s my recent article about one of the more unlikely bands to be putting on great shows this summer. You’ll see that I was never a fan of the New York Dolls, but their recent reunions have been really impressive. That article is also the first time that I’ve written about the band in the past four years without recycling—as in this concert review—a story about my kid’s first concert being a Dolls show (if you don’t count that in utero show with the Sex Pistols at Atlantic City).

In related music news, it was sad to watch the final Virgin Megastore shut down in New York City. I mostly have fond memories of the time I swiped some pre-printed “75% Off” stickers from a shelf there, and assembled myself a shopping spree in the Import section. It was especially fun taking my merchandise to the cash register by all the Che merchandise.
