Whenever I visited my dad in New York City I could still traverse the same filthy lower Manhattan sidewalks that had birthed such Dolls classics as “Trash” and “Looking for a Kiss,” and I could still hitch a ride on the IRT or the BMT or whatever line it was that inspired the soulful screech of “Subway Train.” But the wiseass warmth and confetti-spraying exuberance that saturated 1973’s “New York Dolls” and 1974’s “Too Much Too Soon” seemed in desperately short supply in NYC circa 1984 (to say nothing of its depressing absence from Reagan’s America in general). Gem Spa, the East Village newsstand and former Beat mecca that the band posed in front of on the back of their first album, was still in business. But those five guys dressed li ....
