I Doll: Life and Death with The New York Dolls (by Arthur “Killer” Kane)

The New York Dolls, during and after their all too brief existence, were a huge influence on David Bowie and Mott the Hoople, KISS and Aerosmith, Guns n' Roses and Motley Crue; when they toured England under the supervision of punk impresario Malcolm McLaren, they indirectly caused the formation of the Sex Pistols. When their bassist Arthur "Killer" Kane died suddenly at age 55 in 2004, left behind not only the Dolls' timeless music-and their many thousands of fans and friends-but also this memoir of the Dolls' early years.
