Then again, there's not much they do care about, bless 'em....
fuck em if they can't take a joke
scot, I know this is tangential, but I happened to stumble across this section in Anthony Bourdain's blog this morning and thought it might make for an instructive footnote to your post...
"On a completely off-subject note, I read something really disturbing while leafing through a magazine in my most recent airport. Rachael Ray, it appears, when booking acts for her South by Southwest indie rock-meets-sloppy Joes fest, invited the New York Dolls to perform. THE NEW YORK DOLLS!! It is an article of faith with me that the Dolls were one of the greatest, most important, criminally neglected, wildly influential bands in the history of well ...the freakin' UNIVERSE!! Most of the original members (in keeping with truest rock and roll tradition) are dead. But David Johansen and Syl Sylvain are still out there, hustling a living in a cold, cruel world. And if anybody deserves steady work, a new generation of fans, buckets of money (something they never had) and elevation to icon status-it's these guys.
"This development ...following hot on the heels of Rachael saying nice things about me on Nightline has caused me no small amount of confusion, panic, and misery. I don't know whether to go out and shoot a puppy-or send Rachael a fruit basket. It just does me no good at all to think of Rachael as a Dolls fan. It's really only a matter of time now until my daughter looks up from her grilled cheese and says "Yummo!!"
"Only repeated viewings of Sandra Lee on YouTube slathering canned frosting on her "Kwaanza Cake" with an insane glint in her eye (a piece of video every American should see as a cautionary exercise-like a particularly gruesome highway safety film) can make me feel like I'm playing for the right team."
i LOVE rachel ray
did she get a face lift or somethin though?
That reminds me....I must see if I can locate the original by the Cadets, which I think is in my loft.
Further investigation reveals that the original is already on here from a while back - http://mog.com/Madeline_Burke/blog/155735.
Interesting comparison; The NYDs really don't add anything o the original, IMHO.
Wow, this song reminds me in many ways an Adam & the Ants song...uh, Pablo Picasso? Anyway, I like this.
I second that, love listening to this band
You cannot talk about the Dolls and R*chel R*y in the same paragraph. I treasure my Dolls albums. I do not treasure Ms. R*y.
Great post Scott!
well T, I kind of like the idea that Ms. Ray has a bit of a slutty side buried behind all those recipes!
