Classy reunions - Boston Phoenix

The New York Dolls and Gang of Four return to rock
BY MATT ASHARE

Excerpt:

"I know Morrissey was the president of the Dolls’ fan club," Johansen recalls in a voice that bleeds Noo Yawk City, "so we talk to each other like friends. And he’s saying he’d be so delighted if we’d do this. And I said, ‘Morrissey, would you get back together with Johnny Marr and the Smiths?’ And he said, ‘No.’ So, I said, ‘Why are you asking me to do this?’ But I acquiesced because I was going through this thing where I had decided that I dismissed things out of hand too easily. And I had to stop dismissing things because I wasn’t allowing myself to have certain experiences. That was very much on my mind after he called. I said," — with a deep laugh, he goes into what sounds like a practiced routine — " ‘Listen, self: didn’t you say that you were going to stop dismissing things out of hand?’ So I didn’t just dismiss the idea."

      For those who think The Smiths will ever get back together, or even Moz and Marr, there is your answer. It should not come as a shock.

        Can't wait to see the Dolls rock Boston! I was so happy when I first heard this news. Love reunions. The Chameleons were absolutely astounding when they got back together to play and tour the US. I hope people on this board know who they are and caught that tour. Now if only we can get the Cure back to at least Robert, PORL, BORIS and Simon for one tour I can die with a smile on my face. OK I'll stop.....

          He said this in his interview with NPR.

          It was a very interesting piece. I had submitted the idea to be a story here but it never went through.

          I wonder if it's still archived at NPR's website.
