Inside back page of the current NME is given over to David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain - a full page interview - here's a snippet...

David Johansen - "When you're an artist, you want to inspire people around you, and I think we've done that. Morrissey is a perfect example. I remember corresponding with him when he was a kid and writing into NME defending us from Suzi Quatro fans or whatever. He's still like that - he's smitten with the Dolls! It's not something I use for my self-esteem, but if my heart exploded right now, I think I'd be able to die feeling like I accomplished something."

Sylvain Sylvain - "Seeing how the New York Dolls have inspired people is how I get paid. That's my equivalent of the bank manager calling em and telling me I'm a rich man."
