Description
Aaron Conn (host of Albums Uncovered) comes on to discuss the legacy of the late, great David Johansen. He was the lead singer of the legendary protopunk band the New York Dolls and had a very successful solo career under both his name and his persona Buster Poindexter. We celebrate the life and career of a one-of-a-kind performer who is one of the most underrated and influential in the history of rock and roll.
We also heavily discuss Martin Scorsese and David Tedeschi's 2023 documentary Personality Crisis: One Night Only which focuses on Johansen.
