You know what's funny is I should go back to the New York Dolls and give then another shot. When I worked at Sammy's, there was a cook there that was a Rocky Horror type guy. You know the obnoxious costume at midnight and show count type and would play the NY Dolls all the time. Needless to say, I was not a fan then. But it probably had more to do with him than the band.

Unfortunately I do not get yard passes as frequently as i use to. 7 Seconds would wear me out now. I prefer the more mellow shows now.

To be honest, you aren't missing much. Their influence is huge, but their influence is so great that the thing that made them unique doesn't seem that unique anymore. Just get Johnny Thunders' solo work.

Yeah, I can't do punk shows anymore. Even Ian MacKaye has gotten mellow. The Evens is more my pace these days (though I like some rocking out, too).

To circle this back to Cobain, that's why I think his career would've taken the Mark Lanegan route. Screaming Trees were great, but he's now spent the bulk of his career doing dark, mellow music that sounds like the soundtrack to a suicide.

When it comes to the Dolls, I think you had to be there at that time to get them. I've tried my mightiest to get into them, but their recorded work just straight out mostly sucks. I imagine seeing them live at Max's Kansas City was pretty awesome though.
