Certainly I am the last man alive to know this, but the documentary NEW YORK DOLL features contains quite a bit of Morrissey. The documentary chronicles the life of bassist Arthur Kane. Currently airing on Sundance.

Magic movie, magic band, magic Moz! (Score:1)
While we're on the Dolls, it was a surprise to come across an interview in the current edition of What is Enlightenment? (WIE, a quarterly glossy which claims to be ‘redefining spirituality for an evolving world’) complete with a funny photograph, with David Johansen, the lead singer of the New York Dolls.
Some (or all if subscribed) of the interview “with veteran rocker and spiritual enthusiast” can be heard at www.wie.org/johansen . Here is the introduction from the printed version, entitled “Satellite of Love: An Interview with David Johansen”:
- Tune into Sirius radio on a Friday from 3.00 to 9pm and you’ll be able to hear pop icon David Johansen do two of the things he loves the most: play music and rhapsodise about philosophy and spirituality. In the early seventies, Johansen made waves as the singer of the short-lived band The New York Dolls – a raw, explosive punk act that was popular before punk even existed and would influence dozens of later bands, such as The Ramones, the Talking Heads, Blondie and Kiss. Later he solidifed his place as one of popular music’s most original contributors as the front man and creative force behind the high-style lounge act Buster Poindexter. These days Johansen is singing for the Dolls again and touring the world. In this interview he describes his life as a singer and his abiding spiritual interests, and he explains why, after all these years, performing rock and roll is still a “celebration of life”. –

This gesture would cheer him up no end, and God knows he needs cheering up! He spent all weekend reclined on his three seat sofa demanding to be brought oranges every five minutes...
